Terribly managed company across the board
Pros
+ Delicious eats at the cafeteria + Complimentary snacks + Java on the house
Cons
Inadequate coordination and management across teams - Consistent grievances from various teams under all GMs, citing redundancy in tasks among multiple teams (an inward focus is deemed more detrimental than an outward one) - Ongoing challenges in Japan vs. US collaboration - The US management's emphasis on increasing employee count as an achievement was a central theme, with pride in phrases like "I expanded the team to X" - Subpar middle to senior management, lacking fundamental understanding of management principles (such as operational leverage and project management). The management tends to excessively micromanage experienced engineers, allocating specific tasks and dictating their actions, which is not an efficient use of time.
