Pros

Largest electric motor company in the world -- $10B sales. Technology and Growth oriented company supplying tiny motors in your iphones, iwatches to very large motors for pumping gas and oil pipe lines. Company has no debt. Very aggressive in investing for both organic growth as well as through acquisitions. Very much team oriented company.

Cons

Very demanding compare with other mid-western industrial companies. It is not a 9 to 5 job. Expect manager and above level employees and executives to reply emails even in the weekends.

Pros

Depending on your department, there are opportunities for flexible work hours and work from home sometimes. Pay is good. We have a cafeteria in the building and there is a gym on campus. There are lots of learning opportunities at Nidec - they encourage you to further your education via professional organizations, formal education, and certifications. There are employee events during the workday occasionally and some (such as a holiday party) after work.

Cons

Nidec is a huge corporation with business units all over the world. While this provides a great opportunity for growth and knowledge sharing, it also can make it more difficult to get things accomplished. There can be communication barriers and not all the BUs operate in the same way.
