Pros

TAEC is a good place to work. Good salary and benefits. The people tend to be competent. They tend not to fire people unnecessarily.

Cons

They are very much a child company of Toshiba Corp (Japan), and exist politically to serve the parent's needs. Not a bad thing unless you want to change policies, affect products, or otherwise step outside of the boxlike enclosure of the child company.

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.
