Pros

Good people. Good but rapidly declining corporate culture. Strong IT team that is overworked but willing to work with you as a true partner. Creative marcomm team that gets a lot done given the resources they have. Strong channel relationships and generally well-thought of in the industry.

Cons

I understand that many companies have been going through layoffs and I have been through layoffs in the past at other companies. Epson lost a lot of credibility when the CEO said in an all-employee meeting that there would be no layoffs, and then weeks later instituted a very poorly executed and communicated layoff process. Even our VPs did not know the full extent of actions taken after all of the layoffs were supposed completed. There has been no communication regarding the future of the company. Stale back office teams that are stuck in the past and don't want to change - sales operations, finance in particular. Not enough sales and marketing support from Japan and they are too slow with everything from product development to support.

Pros

Although I work remotely, I find that Epson's workplace is for people who value accountability, integrity, sustainability, and true inclusivity. The pay and benefits are strong, and my experience has been overwhelmingly positive.

Cons

Somewhat siloed and territorial between departments.
