Pros

Large company with decent benefits, good for networking and getting your feet wet if you are new to the manufacturing industry.

Cons

Extremely politcal, and corporate environment if you work in the office and are not traveling employee. The top managers that come from the headquarters in Japan are sexist and demoralizing. Daikin North America is a subsidiary of Daikin Industries, which is the owner/parent company based out of Japan. The mentality from upper management is very sexist and racist towards Americans of all colors. I worked directly under a manager who was brought to America from Daikin Japan, because they did not trust "lazy" Americans to properly manage their "workers" efficiently, and you have to be TOUGH to stay with this group for long. Two stars because I did love the type of work I did at Daikin, however it was not worth being made to feel inferior, and expected to work overtime everyday. Like others have said, if you have NO LIFE outside of work and prefer to have a job with a company that expects you to sacrifice time with your family, or other personal obligations for the "good of the company" then this is the place for you! This ties into the Japanese worth ethic, and culture diversity between how it is in Japan and the US... the directors from Daikin Japan speak badly of employees based on their sex, ethnicity, education level, and appearance.

Pros

Used to pay well but "bonus" was cut during covid.

Cons

Most of the capable workers who have worked for a long time have left. Leftovers are those who don't do work and only talk no action. Managers don't care about employee career growth and only care about themselves. Not appreciative of employees who work for them. No career progression. Only want "yes sir" employees. No work life balance and no flexible working hours.
