      Pros

      Growing company, financially stable, dedicated workforce.

      Cons

      Company is trying to grow too fast. Instead of focusing on improving current business, the organization is chasing market share and trying to enter into business that they have little knowledge about. Don't have the technical infrastructure or operating systems in place to accommodate the current business let alone new.

      Pros

      It was a job, with great lower level people and great insurance. The retirement plan for the United States was a joke since the pay never changed.

      Cons

      Mgt was out of touch and if you were not from Japan, you had no say in anything. HR turned there head to Japanese actions in the United States. 3-5 year mgt assignments, meant you would have new leadership in a few years, usually worse than previous mgt. No long term goals. Working for today to make today's numbers look good since the mgt assignments were so short term. Probably the reason the facility shut down.

      Pros

      There are none. The company has no strategy or vision. Senior management are incompetent. The company has been in decline for many years as there is no strategy or vision for the company. Products are designed for Japan markets and shoved down the throats of international markets.

      Cons

      The company is going downhill, led by its parent.The company is a huge conglomerate in thousands of businesses with no critical mass in any one business. The products are all designed in Japan for the Japan market and scant attention is paid to designing products outside of Japan. Senior management is sent overseas from Japan and they spend most of their time playing golf, drinking or socializing.
