Pros

Health Benefits are great. You do work with some good people.

Cons

As everyone is stating, re-org has been happening but it's been going on for 2 years and they still don't have any direction. New CEO, new executives (which some are already leaving even though they got hired by their executive friends, yeah, that bad), culture shot to heck, and it is a sinking ship. Since the re-org is so unclear and has been shifted several times, internally everyone is fighting each other. No one understands the new process as there is a mountain of forms to fill out now but no one actually understands them. Open floor plan, yeah, it sucks. You can hear your neighbor whispering. Forget having a call with vendor or client because you need to find a corner to have some silence and privacy. Appointed was a 'Culture Officer' to make sure to keep motivation high during the re-org...all she did is rename our meeting rooms to outrageous names and passed out cookies. It used to be great, it really was, now I won't recommend this place to a single person.

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.
