Pros

It pays the bills and the work itself isn't hard to do and is potentially enjoyable.

Cons

Management is currently, on a regular basis, one-upping themselves on the stupidity front. Completing anything is impossible, engineers have zero ability to perform autonomously and obtaining training or tooling/equipment is an uphill battle. Even when an argument to correct or better explain something can be made; nobody listens and pulls rank to end the conversation. Engineers are instructed to problem solve, however it is frowned upon if engineers are not problem solving from their desk. You are allowed to go to actual problem solving but then if you take "too long" its considered wasting time. Progression is essentially a clique environment; not being a "yes man" severely hurts ones chances of advancement.

Pros

Great people at this company. Kubota hires high quality employees.

Cons

Work-life balance isn't considered very much if at all. There is no contingency plan for when people leave. Some departments are already ill-equipped to handle their workloads as it is. After key team members leave, it puts a lot of stress on the rest of the team which results in even higher turnover and less getting done.
