A little insight into SanDisk Limited in Japan.

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting products to work on. Provides pretty good salary stack for Japan.

Cons

Yokkaichi fab team is extremely disconnected from US and other offices. There are difficulties that also arise from working with joint venture partners. There is no SanDisk cultural identity in this joint venture partnership either.

Mediocre company

Staff design engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Dynamic culture - company strives to be innovative, testing out products one after another. In the end, much of the products were duds. A more careful assessment would probably have yield better results. However, from an employee perspective, it's great to be in an environment that promotes innovation. Good visionaries from the CEO - truly a glass half full kinda guy. One would feel inspired by his enthusiasm and motivation. Though can't say the same for the rest of the execs.

Cons

Middle mgmt needs a lot of work - lack of training and promotion simply based on seniority both contributed to mediocracy in middle mgmt layer. Also too many mgmt layers A lot of deadweight - hopefully recent layoffs trimmed the fat (which should have been done long ago)

SanDisk, a company that has not scaled well

Engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good CEO who cares about the company

Cons

Company has become very big and political. Too many VPs, Directors and Managers care more about building up their own organizations than about the company. Decisions about hiring and direction are made inexplicably. My own group, for instance, has seen 3-4 reorgs in the past 1.5 years.
