Pros

Loved the team and work environment/culture. It's a japanese company so the culture is tailored to their business and engineering style. Great people and experience in the automotive industry. Also very loyal company, I worked there as an intern and go hired on after college. Was there for 10 years and would have stayed if I didn't move out of state.

Cons

As a "Design Engineer", you're more of a project manager than a design engineer. Responsibilities are more towards customer interface, making schedules, and being the focal point between all internal departments (manufacturing, quality, business, etc.). Like I said, more of a PM role than actual design role. Also they have dedicated CAD Designers so you're CAD skills and usage is limited.

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.
