Pros

*Amazing health insurance *Wide scope of job duties (lots of exposure) *Great people (some of the best friends of my life did work there) *Little to no risk of being fired (they need people bad)

Cons

*Legitimately too many to list. *Racist environment toward anyone non-Japanese (Japanese only meetings) (Japanese only decisions) (Americans are "local staff") total segregation. *Lack of education, what little training that is available and only applies to Kubota *Promotions are time base not skill based (could be a pro if your lazy) *Salary is about 15% low for the region (as of 2019) *Very little growth opportunity unless your Japanese *Unethical design practices (often you will be asked to copy designs) *Hard working people get all the work of slackers (could be a pro if your a slacker) *Cafeteria and bathrooms have roaches and are unsanitary at best *Ultra micro management *High attrition rate (turn over is greater than 30%) *50% of the engineers are glorified mechanics with no engineering tasks There is so many more.............like I said above. Look someone current or ex up on LinkedIn and ask!

Pros

Good opportunity for travel, lots of internal training opportunities, some excellent managers and coworkers

Cons

Top level jobs go to parent company ex-pats who are not necessarily trained or prepared for the job and they are exchanged for a new person every 3-5 years. Extremely complicated processes to get anything done and often changed or short cutted depending on who is involved with project
