Pros

If you want to be in a 100% Japanese environment and are looking for a great learning experience, Toshiba is a great place. Most foreign employees are contractors, and the few that are full employees are from India, China, Indonesia, Thailand, etc., so Western Europeans and Americans stand out. There is quite a lot of pride in working for a large conglomerate, and outsiders are impressed when they hear that you worked for Toshiba.

Cons

Management is unsupportive at best and downright asinine at worst. Japanese corporate practices are the norm here: endless meetings without clear agendas and decisions made; political maneuvering; an inflexible mindset towards new technologies and practices; and general inefficiency. President Nishida is doing more to improve Toshiba as a company but there is still much left to do.

Pros

Flexible hybrid work, lots of freedom and autonomy, good biz performance and budget, feel respected and valued, pay is much better than the competitor I previously worked for

Cons

Limited opportunities to move up due to small subsidiary size, lots of meetings and some repetitive work, no real office perks like food etc, sometimes work/life balance are not good but it evens out over time
