Pros

The tuition reimbursement was a great benefit, along with the job stability. Unfortunately, that's about it.

Cons

Essentially, you sell your soul to work for DENSO. The pace and expectation there is completely unrealistic and upper managment is completely out of touch with what is going in the lower ranks. It is very top heavy and upper management is completely overpaid. Promotions are not earned by talent or merit, they are given to people who are in the "back pocket" of upper management OR given to people they want to grandfather out of their current position. The whole concept of DMTN is very ''old school'' and the life expectancy of a new hire is around 3 years.

Pros

Steady job with a large company. Pretty good insurance and typical benefits. Options for insurance plans and 401k with company match.

Cons

Very fast pace with little tolerance for human error. Pay is very low for such high expectations. Managers stress safety and people first but the reality is quality parts come first. Older workers are not regarded as competent or worth much and often put on the hardest, fastest jobs with much younger workers who can outperform them - maybe to denigrate them? Some older workers feel left out and even frowned on by some team leaders and higher ups. Some disrespectful comments from team leaders about older workers have been overheard. Typical Japanese management style where the Japanese live to work rather than work to live.
