Pros
Pay is decent, culture is pleasant, plenty of opportunities to learn, facilities are well stocked & clean, staff is capable, on site fitness facility & encouraging management.
Cons
Japanese owned company translates to North American tech center being unable to operate autonomously. This translates to serious issues when dealing with regional based production & performance requirements. A bigger problem is that weekends are frequently needed to maintain ambitious program schedules. As reward for good work, more work is piled on top of already large work loads. Apparently it got much worse before I got out. Personally, I was unaffected by these pitfalls because I worked under a management that stood up for his team. I am writing this complaint as a warning to people who may take a job at CK & not be as lucky as I was. The average employee duration is 1.5years... That says something...
