Great company....No Loyalty

Anonymous employee

Pros

Good salary and benefits Great team members (or use to be) The shell of a great company is still there and the possibility of becoming one again exists

Cons

It does not matter if you are the best possible employee available. Hit numbers, provide spot on forecasts, work well with others, do everything asked. If a new upper management is brought in they will bring in there "good old boys or girls" and your loyalty and performance is shown the door. As they downsize staff the overwork the people left. This hurts not only employee moral but results to the customer as well.

Culture of fear and bullying

Pros

Above average benefits. If you're looking for great medical, dental, 401k match, PTO, ect...you'd bee hard-pressed to find better. Interesting work. Constant growth and good job stability. Overtime always available but never mandatory.

Cons

Pay is not great if you're not a salary employee. A culture of politics and fear at locations away from HQ. No supervision of middle management, and they can get a little carried away with personal vendettas. HR and upper management all in California, so local management is not kept in check. I've seen it cost many good employees their jobs.

Pros

- willing to employ fresh graduated without experience, I could start from very zero - giving oportunities to choose your professional way within given limits - after years of hard working competitive salary - exciting job in field of consumer electronics, possibility to gain a lot of experience - very social, a lot of personal contacts along the way of product from ideas to the market

Cons

- low salary at start point (but maybe pro - no goldminers applying for this job) - parallel management structure Japanese/local - general strong mistrust from Japanese side - no strategic planning, even midterm (or not shared with local management) - invisible project management, fishy definition of roles (today you are a manager, leader, key member,... to be motivated, tomorrow only engineer who shall only follow orders, shut up and work - and when project bumps you are again a manager responsible for the failure)
