      Great Growth Propsect!!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great growth prospect with aggressive management team and HQ's willingness to invest in the motor business. CEO just sent out last quarter results, sales grew 8% and profit grew 40%. This kind of result is very rare in the current difficult market environment especially in the oil & gas, commodity and general industrial sector. Great leadership in the top management team.

      Cons

      Very demanding from Nidec HQ. Weekly reporting of sales & profit which forces the demand down to every employees. Could be quite stressful if you do not like the motor business.

      Pros

      They are finally hiring new leaders and executives. I've been here many years and it was the same ol' thing. Finally new ideas, fresh perspective on things. It is good to see. New VP HR, new CFO, new operations. Alot of needed changes being introduced. Definitely a change is style, it is more aligned with what our Japan headquarters wants. YOu can finally reach out to an HR executive that knows what she is talking about, before just company babysitters with no business sense. Our CFO is ruffling feathers, but we know he needs to do the things he is doing. Jury is still out on Procurement but a lot of people are impressed with this new team. Old team might be a little threatened, so I'm sure they are watching and hopefully being motivated by these new players. Pay is good, our benefits are good, only 401k which is really good but no pension anymore.

      Cons

      CEO. CEO.CEO. The new CFO should replace him. No one here is sure how he was selected, he is smart, knows our motors and market. He is not an executive leader, he was a better president. He plays favorites and keeps the same players around him at all times and just gives them new titles and promotions. He lacks respect in the business and trust. It's not his integrity or behaviors, he is just not a CEO. We are always waiting for someone coming back and telling us what Japan needs and how we are always not good enough. No motivation to work and succeed. The culture is basically some stupid thing they asked us to stick to our employee badge, no real training.

      Excellent Benefits - No Micromanaging at All

      Senior it role
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits are best I have ever had. 3% company + 6% matching = 9% in 401k! Health plan is pretty decent as well. Very good company culture. People are very respectful. No micromanaging at all (this could just be my boss and his boss).

      Cons

      For a remote employee, very little engagement with the company overall. No regular newsletters, no information about what's going on in the company. No emails, company (virtual) events. Nothing. engaged with just my department and the others I work with. Get an HR email typically just about the benefits once a year, of if there's something important. I can't even remember who the CEO is. Up the chain I only know my boss and his boss (the VP). Never have been in a meeting of whoever is above him.
