      Surprised a Japanese company is so organizationally challenged.

      Pros

      Great access to very cool products. Product discount program is very good. It's great to be associated with such a respected brand. Nice office environment. No set number of vacation days, you take them as you need/want with your manager's approval.

      Cons

      Everything is an emergency; several fire drills per day. Management does very little planning and as a result we are always in catch-up mode. HR is invisible... we barely have any sort of performance review process, and almost no succession planning. Don't expect to be trained here. You learn as you go. Some groups work very long and stressful hours. Other groups barely put in 40 hours/week.

      Losing innovation, old style politics, favoritism.

      Pros

      -Modern clean building in San Diego (Building 1). -Able to learn new skills and tools (if you continuously ask), collaborate with people worldwide.

      Cons

      -Cutthroat management, instead of finding solutions to the problem. Middle management can be hostile towards the people doing the brunt of the work. -Politics that require so many 'meetings' with ideas and products eventually getting cut. -Favoritism, cronyism rampant. -It appears that a large portion of the software side of the company are contractors and not full time employees. Why not just pay your employees the benefits and hire them? -A feeling that your job can be potentially outsourced at anytime in Japan or China.
