Won't fire the bad apples

Mechanical engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Probably the only good reason to work at Toshiba is the opportunity for certain positions to travel extensively, especially within the US and Japan.

Cons

Every workplace has bad apples. Toshiba seems to have very poor hiring practices which result in hiring a lot of people who have no idea what they are doing. In Toshiba, the practice is to keep moving them to other positions or giving 'promotions' rather than terminate them and hire someone better qualified. This leads to competent people being overworked and undervalued. Travel on the weekend is often required for my position, and the salary doesn't justify the high number of unpaid overtime hours.

A fine place to get some good training. ZERO technical growth

Associate software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-You get to learn if fresh out with a Bachelors. -Most managers are good -You get good training

Cons

-Can't continue to grow technically after spending an year. Only manegiral growth possible. -Not much hierarchy -Few managers hardly care about an employee's problems, and will make you work like hell. Even if its needless. -Takes you a huge time to start working on a project. I wasted my first 6 months there working on useless stuff

Great for people who are interested in PCs or CE

Business Outlook

Pros

1. If you love the technology (either PCs or consumer electronics), employees get to see products in the pipeline and use products that have just been released. 2. There is a good group dynamic at the company 3. The company does a good job retaining its employees and identifying new roles and opportunities for them

Cons

1. The office is located in Markham 2. It is a Japanese-owned subsidiary that has little control over its destiny with minimal resources 3. The food at the on-site cafeteria is okay (at best)
