Nidec reviews

Owned by the Japanese, management still wants financial results even though the economy is in the crapper. layed off 29 employess then the Italian division that runs the management gets a 120+ million euro contract. Why did they lay off 29 americans? because it is almost impossible to fire an italian employee.

- Typically Japanese culture, long working hours required. - Staff being promoted base on working years in company but not own capability. Lead to some management level just have the tittle but without the capability to solve problems. - Serious office politic environment. If you able to get close to some management level then you will easy to get promoted. - Almost every decision making power also control by Japanese staff, foreigner staff do not have any power. - Too focus on details, work hard but not work smart. Waste so much time to turning around but not work for the best results. - A place for retirement, everyday just turning around focus on same problem and keep look into details. - Even you are really capable on work but still wont get promoted easily. Company criteria to promoted a staff will be 1) Japanese staff or 2) Long service staff or 3) Staff who have good relationship with management. - Company more look into who can work longer instead of who can work better.
