Great Development Engineering Talent in Fujisawa Japan. Excellent Technology and Quality of products.

Poor Management in San Jose. High Performers NOT recognized in this Company. Lower Level Managers are actually "Soldiers" just carrying out orders and not making decisions like true Managers should.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
