Pros

Growing company right now, expanding manufacturing, which is good for Engineering people. The work is Challenging. They are capitol rich right now in an effort to complete lots of projects really fast. Awesome for experienced people who know how to get things done. Great people to work with mostly, and probably one of the better experiences I've had working with the Japanese (world headquarters support staff). All in all a very positive experience.

Cons

After their re-structure a couple years ago, they are still working through process development. That can lead to difficulty in knowing the appropriate way to get things done. Some older employees have sore attitudes about the restructure. Their upper management is mostly lawyers, so that leads to sometimes painful focus on things like terms and conditions of getting things done. Sometimes people like to argue a lot, in meetings, which hijacks the potential for a productive meeting

Pros

Financially solid. We sell products people must have.

Cons

No management training. Smart people who know the business don't always make good managers. Bridgestone doesn't work to develop leadership and management skills. The workforce reduction cut the workforce so bad that it's impossible to get things done. It's a three ring circus.
