Pros

Great People to work with - good relationships Competitive benefits. Pay is competitive with market Workers want the company to succeed

Cons

Company has been on downward slide for some time. Cost cutting does not create new markets and new products that consumers want. What was once unique now becomes commonplace quickly. On top of that, we are victims in the US of a decade of bad Japanese economy. People try hard, and fight to do they best they can, but there is a need to get out there with new and innovative products.

Pros

- If you live in or want to live in San Diego, there are many opportunities to bounce from one position to another to keep the benefits of staying with the same company (increasing vacation time and 401k vesting, increased knowledge of inner workings of company to be more productive) while gaining new experiences and skills.

Cons

- Although flexible work arrangements are promoted and used by some, most new positions are located in San Diego, which is not so great if you don't live in San Diego and want to move around and up within the company.

Pros

Great access to cutting edge technology Access to high level executives Pretty decent pay Good deals on new products (to buy and borrow) Fun projects, great experience

Cons

Performance reviews are a joke, they don't mean anything to your advancement Poor career tracks, don't feel like I'm going anywhere Need to make things happen yourself Poor management with respect to guidance, advice, assistance, etc.
