Pros

Every field rep is given an Audi and the benefits are good. Brand recognition made getting in the door possible.

Cons

The executive team had extremely high and unrealistic matrix-based expectations of those working in the field and created conflict between peers. They had little regard for work/life balance and the turnover was extremely high. For such a large company, they had horrible backend systems that made doing your job nearly impossible. Constant grind that left many resentful and miserable.

Pros

Overall really positive experiencing working here. Good benefits and lots of flexibility with work.

Cons

Not a lot of development opportunities. Career ladders are not defined and even though the company encourages career development opportunities, there's no transparency around it.

Pros

Good benefits, Health and Dental, Vision, up to 4% 401k match

Cons

New management has no idea how business supposed to be managed. They are pulling management folks from Intel and Amazon. Taking new development to Oregon where their homes are. Also, sent most of the work to India to show the profitability. The company doesn't have traditional Japanese culture any more under current management as everyone is trying to fill their pockets and looking for their benefits.
