Pros
Currently the most stable automotive supplier in the industry. Corporate culture is focused on a "job for life" attitude. The working level attitude is welcoming and the majority of associates are very friendly and helpful.
Cons
Some people choose to take advantage of the "job for life" culture and withdrawal from expending any additional effort to better themselves or the company. The opportunities for advancement are extremely limited. Management positions are plentiful, however they are all occupied and will be for some time. The glass ceiling is set at the senior engineer level. Promotions are widely viewed as being based on time in the company rather than performance. Opinions and ideas of local staff are often ignored in favor of those from headquarters in Japan.
