      Won't fire the bad apples

      Mechanical engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Probably the only good reason to work at Toshiba is the opportunity for certain positions to travel extensively, especially within the US and Japan.

      Cons

      Every workplace has bad apples. Toshiba seems to have very poor hiring practices which result in hiring a lot of people who have no idea what they are doing. In Toshiba, the practice is to keep moving them to other positions or giving 'promotions' rather than terminate them and hire someone better qualified. This leads to competent people being overworked and undervalued. Travel on the weekend is often required for my position, and the salary doesn't justify the high number of unpaid overtime hours.

      Toshiba - things people should know

      Senior product marketing manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Toshiba Japan engineers and manufactures some of the best products on the market. Tons of research and thought go into each and every product and they are not thrown together like other PC companies.

      Cons

      No room for growth within the organization. Poor communication from Director level down to business unit managers who "actually" run the business. Incompetence in senior level managers bogging down the business with no focus on business at hand but only concerned with their own personal gain.

      The most political company you'll ever find

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      TIC rarely lets people go unless there is just cause, and I'm talking you have to really mess up. They tend to give you a chance when you make a mistake.

      Cons

      VERY poorly managed. The senior management at this company each have their own agenda, and few of them are really working to grow the company. It's not about the employees or success, it's about control... who has it, who should have it, and who has the budget to maintain it.
