Pros

Good Benefits, decent salary, fellow engineers are awesome, and great customers.

Cons

Management has never been in the field or had prior medical equipment experience. Company car is now a Matrix which is too small for the tools you need and the amount of driving now required. Can not offer suggestions without the fear of being whacked. You have to keep your phone on you for the weekends without any compensation for it. The new service plan is more of a college senior project than a proven model of success. The workload has tripled while the pay remains the same. A quote from the main manager sums up the attitude in the home office "Field Engineers are a dime a dozen".

job security is good, stable work environment.

Cons

no room to improve oneself and find better career growth. there is a definite disconnect between management and engineering teams. teams are on different pages when it comes to strategy.

Pros

Ok benefit, depending on your manager/ supervisor, easy to take off and flexible in working hours.

Cons

People play politics, unfair promotion for favorites, disrespectful actions by Japanese management ( yelling at people in front of the whole office etc). American management and Japanese management did not have same goal and vision.
