Business Outlook
Pros
Stable company with good benefits Opportunities for international travel Lots of good, dedicated people Management seems, overall, to care about the employees Great technical challenges in many areas Some top managers really believe that change is necessary for success
Cons
Too much business culture clash between US and Japan Too many decision makers, sitting in offices all over the world, decision process is slow and ineffective. As per Japanese style, decisions are made in an off-line conversation, then forced on organization even when clear evidence of issues with the decision is presented. Much of the "old guard" is stuck in the old way of doing things over in Japan. This ends up significantly impacting the US division.
