Pros

The company has great products, great technology. Indeed the brand is still very very strong. Everybody in the company is being proud being a part of company delivering such products. Work-life balance was also ok, once the japaneese expats came.

Cons

The company was a european company due to top management who are either european or who had vast experinece in european companies. However in 2013 the story completely changed. Japaneese are ruling the company. However they are totally incapable of doing it due to low delegation, high micromanagemet and very slow working structure
