Pros

Bridgestone is an old school manufacturing organization with a culture about as good as you can hope for in a global enterprise. Bridgestone Americas is based in Nashville and has a large presence just south of Cleveland, OH. I mention this because the teammates working for the organization are great people, on the whole. Nearly everyone I worked with in the organization are people I would recommend working with again.

Cons

Bridgestone is a tire manufacturing and retail automotive services company. The majority of their revenue comes from these channels. The best place to be working internally is on a team that serves an essential role to one of these two core components of the business. Recent attempts to build and scale digital products and services have been fraught, unsuccessful, and at this point have been largely dismantled. These facts don't necessarily belong in "Cons." Any company big or small can get out over their skis and take a hefty tumble. Bridgestone made a ton of bets during a period of cash-on-hand euphoria (COVID) and then operated as if that set of circumstances would continue on into the future. The debts came due over the past 18 months along with a significant portion of bad-luck in core product markets. Takeaway: If you're considering working for Bridgestone, find work in one of the organizations I mentioned above. These are the core components of the business that they will protect and bolster even in tough times.
