Pros

[For Production] - Operators, engineers (lower level employees) are friendly and work hard. Product is interesting and goes to good causes

Cons

Managers are lazy, incompetent, mean (calling people "stupid" in meetings for asking questions), and some even have a history of sexually assaulting female employees. When this is brought up to HR, they say they will "investigate" but 10/10 times this leads to retaliation. Management makes up stories and pins it on the person submitting the complaint, and HR blindly accepts. There is no leadership, and managers openly violate the stated official company culture, which actually has many positive elements.

Pros

Work ethic is low at Kyocera, as such work-life balance is favorable

Cons

Management is focused on the bottom line in the present, they constantly spot how the company has been profitable for 40+ years. As such they make numerous short term decisions that have disastrous consequences in the long term. Decision making is the slowest I have ever met. Management is terrified to make decisive moves. Toxic blame culture is prevalent throughout.

Pros

Great collages and great customers. You also get to help those customers move from paper to digital transformation.

Cons

The new company leadership has created a toxic environment and moral is at a all time low.
