Pros

- If you are unambitious, you can skate by without doing much of anything. In fact the worst thing you can do is fight for your programs. - Decent Benefits, pay isn't bad. - Flex Time

Cons

- Japanese and American employees are not considered equals. - Japanese do not acknowledge NA employees, emails, phone calls or respond to NA customer demands, usually putting you in a position where you can't succeed. - If you have a strong work ethic this place will kill it, because nothing you do ultimately matters - Very High Turnover Rate. - Constant late night/early morning phone conferences with Japan to go over the same exact subjects. - Inability of ADVICS Japan to understand why the big 3 consider passing tests important for new brake products. - Zero upward mobility. - Refusal to honor terms of offer letter regarding final paycheck and bonuses.

Pros

- Great work life balance - Fair Pay - Great culture

Cons

- Management can be slow to implement new changes. Not necessarily a bad thing, just a bigger company so slower moving. Could be a pro for someone looking to settle down.
