Pros
DENSO has an established culture that puts their employees first and prides themselves on superior products and service. Great company for entry-level hires or experienced workers. I have felt valued as an employee and supported by cross-functional teams. A great place to build a career - surprised by the number of employees who have spent 20+ years with one company! Generous benefits package and clean facilities. Unique participation contests/surveys as well. Able to transition between plants fairly easily. Focuses on associate input and well-being. Friendly supportive associates for the most part.
Cons
There is a divide between production associates and specialists but that gap is being bridged. Production has to work long hours and weekends sometimes but as per usual for production gigs. Merging Japanese and American cultures can be a struggle at times but all DENSO works together for the common good.
