Pros

There are some very smart and talented people working here. Family-like atmosphere. Reasonable commute. Benefits and compensation are slowly reaching market levels. Most employees have been there forever.

Cons

Low pay, compared to other companies. Few opportunities for internal advancement. A lot of organizational changes without much communication from management. Different departments are still operating in silos. I agree with other reviews that the culture is becoming a lot more Japanese (more activity and oversight).

Pros

There are a lot of great people to work with here. Everyone is supportive, genuinely cares about your success, and wants to help you grow. The benefits are pretty great too.

Cons

The organization is frequently understaffed, resulting in employees taking on multiple responsibilities beyond their original job scope without corresponding compensation. As staffing levels have been reduced, much of the workload has been redistributed to remaining employees, contributing to burnout and high turnover. There is a tendency to continually delegate additional tasks without a clear understanding of employees’ existing workloads or responsibilities. In some cases, roles have expanded significantly beyond their original purpose, with increased responsibilities added despite no meaningful adjustment in title, pay, or career progression opportunities. Communication from management can be inconsistent, leading to misunderstandings and confusion. The culture is largely top-down, with limited opportunities for employee input. Overall, workload expectations, lack of advancement opportunities, and communication challenges contribute to employee dissatisfaction and turnover.
