Pros

All employees must take 5 consecutive days of annual leave every year at all levels from junior to senior staff. Usage rate of paid leave is more than 90%. High growth is expected to continue due to strong demand of air conditioner especially for developing countries.

Cons

Long working hour during the new project (ex. Assembly line install/upgrade for new product launch). Sometimes needs to work on weekend and during long holiday (New year, Golden week, and Obon holiday) in order to avoid regular production hours. Able to get alternative leave though.

Pros

Its in a nice building

Cons

Insane lack of communication; left alone after 3 hours on my first day. Did the work they wanted but not fast enough and they had a backup waiting to take my place and were not coy or secretive about that whatsoever. Was told not to bring lunch my first day. So I didn't bring lunch my first day. They did not provide lunch on my first day. I went out and bought food and then came back and worked alone the rest of the day. My trainer had retired years prior from a different company and couldn't understand that a PDF could be opened more than one way. What a relief I did not stick around. Oh yeah and I got very sick when they called to lay me off, but they needed their stuff back. Do you think they sent a courier? Nah. I went in thd next day, still sick, and waited over 10 minutes until hopping the security gate because no one was there AND I WAS SICK. Yeah, shortly after I received my positive COVID results. Welp, that about sums up my short stint at this place. Legal dept was completely chaotic. Also the open floorplan was awful during covid.
