Pros

15+ years with Yamaha, they have great products, great benefits with a good 401k plan. Many opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Management constantly under pressure from Japan, very political environment, no loyalty to employees, you can go from hero to zero in no time with a what have you done for me lately attitude. They have little consideration for personal family and life outside Yamaha and expect complete loyalty to the company.

Pros

Nice products, dedicated employees, good work/life balance. Fair compensation and benefits.

Cons

Managers are more focused on protecting their positions rather than doing what is right for company. Cronyism is obvious and taints company culture. If you're not one of the good ol' boys, your input/contributions have little value. Highly political.corporate culture. New ideas are not welcomed by managers with little experience outside of the organization. . .
