Pros
Southern California. High quality product. Opportunity to travel in many departments of the company. Can be a good launchpad for a career in different companies.
Cons
Frequently rotating leadership in US, yet none seem to be able to solve the puzzle of success. Confusion about company identity, core competencies, consumer identities. Career path is not planned for. Very difficult to ascend if you're a woman due to Japanese ownership and culture bleed from Japan to US office. Salary non-competitive in SoCal area unless you're in upper management. Like many Japanese companies, ASICS is very top-heavy, with many unqualified and unhappy leaders. Culture is toxic and uninspiring. Young people come and leave shortly thereafter due to lack of opportunity to make a difference and/or ascend within the company.
