Kyocera reviews

very low mobility, few female in managerial roles, big company with cumbersome red tapes

No career path or promotion opportunities. Most people either are there because they can't find another job or are tied to a visa. It shows in the attitudes. The good engineers leave as soon as they can find another job - even if it means adding an hour commute. Very Japanese mentality of the longer you are at your desk, the more loyal employee your are - regardless if you get any work done. Too many meetings that get absolutely nothing accomplished! Management (GM, HR, IT, some new Department Managers) are more progressive and try to do the right thing, but way too many managers stuck in the "Kyocera way". Kyocera Philosophy - don't get me started - looks like a prayer book and the videos are horrible - yes, we are required to sit through hours of videos every month preaching the Kyocera Philosophy. Poor HR manager has to facilitate and cringes at all of the potentially discriminatory and taboo subjects. GM is trying to hold people accountable but some managers are fighting and trying to sabotage his efforts so they don't look bad.
