Pros

You cannot get fired, even if you try. Pay is good. Benefits are good.

Cons

Flat out... there is discrimination going on inside the walls. If you're a white woman just starting at DIAM you will make lower to middle management within years (and never go farther). If you're a black man, don't even bother applying for work here. I'm a white male. I can honestly recall only one black man in management in my over ten years here. This is a Japanese company, they import 90% of the middle management, 95% of upper management, and all of the C-suite. If you want career advancement look elsewhere. The HR Department is pathetic, slow, and won't disagree with Japan. The Engineering group is probably the most organized in the company but they lack Global clout. The "planning" teams for sales, marketing, and IT systems are a complete joke. My 90 year old Grandmother would fit right in with the speed they operate at. IT systems almost made an improvement a few years ago, but they are back to being 8 years behind.

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.
