Pros

Good benefits, pay, some people are good to work with

Cons

Japanese influence is the cancer that is causing this company to swindle down the path of desperation for anything. Lots and lots of over time, poor management with little impact to make change. Work-life-balance is talked about alot but no or mediocre solutions. There are lots of people who have learned to keep their direct manager happy and screw the rest of team. Outdated equipment, technology, there are groups who still are using excel 2003 and windows 95. IT has only one response to any implementation is "no" we can not do that. There are a few good people there; but managers there have not understood the concept that their customers are the rest of us. They act as if they're gods. Broken operational systems, little or no training on simple company forms to fill out. You get yelled at for doing the wrong thing but there is no training (example; filling out the purchase order and dealing with Purchasing gods - they will yell at you in front of everyone for not checking the proper box. However, there are Tons and Tons of favoritism; the same people who yell at others provide unlimited services and bend all kinds of rules (some are even unethical) to help their favorite person.

Pros

Challenging work Great people Stable

Cons

Top management consists mostly of workaholics and expect the same from lower level colleagues. Too many expectations and too lean of a workforce frequently leads to burn out at all levels within the organization. Pay, bonus and healthcare are mediocre.
