Pros

Company has a great reputation in the computer market; though it suffered from an identity crisis during my tenure. Solid product with great technology advancements...and understood that sales people should use the same products they sell.

Cons

Suffered from an identity crisis, couldn't decide to play direct or indirect channels...often competing against itself. Once the company decided to create an identity and attempt to gain channel market confidence; it couldn't decide on the products...often jumping from computers to cameras to projectors to small appliances. In end, Toshiba settled its identity problems and focused back on channel markets.

Pros

It's good for a person in their mid fifties or anyone else looking to find a place to disappear into the woodwork and earn a steady salary. But if you're a dynamic person looking to get things done, being rewarded more for your hard work etc. you're looking at the wrong place.

Cons

Every decision is controlled by Japan. No room for career advancement from engineering to mgmt / biz dev. Turf oreintated mentality among management. Promotions given more by number of years you served than because of what value you bring to the company.

Pros

It is a cushy job with significant job security compared to its competitors. Employees get to see free movies every month (even in today's economy); get fed with ice cream every month; go for an annual paid picnic; and so on. Wow! what a luxury.

Cons

Incompetent people. It is hard to find yourself surrounded by smart folks. Don't get me wrong. There are smart people but with a purpose. They are waiting to get their green cards or finish their business school etc.
