Pros

Managers were very good at team management and leadership Managers who stay out of the way of engineers Fun people with whom to work Interesting R&D projects

Cons

This company is on the downslide and seems to be stuck in a very old business model When attempting to reshape it's future, the company has chosen weak projects that have no marketability and little chance of helping balance it's books The company wants to compete on a scale with Amazon and Google but makes tragic strategic decisions and has no sense of tactics While fun to work with the latest hardware toys out of Japan, these are mostly underpowered devices with weak marketability This company has HUGE communication problems with Japan where the American subsidiary is supposed to come up with the new ideas to help the company going forward and the Japanese headquarters has a very long approval process for any American initiative that is not often approved because of the communications gaps and the cultural differences
