Pros

In general, people are friendly and the company is supportive of changes, including very generous in investing in IT systems.

Cons

Not enough oversight from management, as the Board Directors are all internal members and have been in there for years. No change and very little actions. In addition, the Corporate Compliance Officer is one of the Ethic Committee members. There is clearly a conflict of interest.

Pros

Years ago, Brother had the feel of a family company and they will insist that it still does. However, the work environment has changed dramatically over the years and not for the better! For those joining the company, make sure you negotiate your salary well, since the annual pay raise is between 2 and 2.5% a year.

Cons

If you are a creative person and do not want to be micro-managed, this is not the place for you! No matter what you are working on - concept, design, color, font size, you name it - it will be changed! If you work in the Marketing Dept, you not only do Marketing, but also answer Customer Service questions and work on the financial aspects of the business as well. Everyone there is now a "jack of all trades and master of none".
