Pros

Interesting, challenging work where you are fairly autonomous in how you do things. benefits travel lots of creative employees

Cons

Work/life balance Payscales suck Travel policy sucks Upper management folk are actually quite smart technically (from my foxhole anyway), but seem to have no care for how they run things. High workload You must be a fire fighter, no planning or guidence from above. All hell bereaks loose when a new system is introduced (amazing, seeing as we introduce new stuff a lot) No global process or training The company is insanely focused on not increasing headcount above a bare minimum

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.
