Pros

Cool people and products to work with

Cons

New upper management of SW Engineering mostly from DirecTV brought nothing but disaster. Manager holds weekly meetings to repeat the team meeting he had with his manager, just passing down "news" (a.k.a. the upper management's unproven and even-changing "ideas" that never accomplish anything but wasteful resources) that has absolutely no connection to my day-to-day responsibilities. We are always asked to provide "feedback" which never gets relayed to the upper management anyway. Management always talks about BBP (best business practices), industry standards, and being "agile" when the employees' morale is at the lowest and customers are shying away during the reorganization. Talking about building a house on sand.

Pros

Good benefits, Health and Dental, Vision, up to 4% 401k match

Cons

New management has no idea how business supposed to be managed. They are pulling management folks from Intel and Amazon. Taking new development to Oregon where their homes are. Also, sent most of the work to India to show the profitability. The company doesn't have traditional Japanese culture any more under current management as everyone is trying to fill their pockets and looking for their benefits.
