Pros

Pay was decent for the market and until about 8 years ago they knew what they were doing.

Cons

Management has no clue what they are doing. Nepotism and favoritism runs rampant. The higher up a dept chain you go the more clueless the managers are about how the department actually works. Lower level managers typically make up ridiculous “processes” that are more or less a pieced together guess of how things actually work. If you speak out you will be crucified here. Layers and layers of management make it easy to hide how stupid the people running the place into the ground are. The highest up managers are in place because of who they know or because the previous management was fired for legal reasons so they got slapped in there without any idea what they are doing. They created a culture committee that’s the laughing stock of the company because doughnuts and fake promises of change are not a positive culture. People working here are biding their time looking for other work or just keeping their heads down to get a paycheck.

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.
