Toyota Reviews

Pros

Learning culture, vibrant environment, regional exposure

Cons

One of the downside is long working hours

Pros

The place is really laid back and they allow room for advancement. They do treat everyone like family and do not want to see anyone leave. When stepping into this business I thought had the impression that there was no money to be had. This business thrives and really wants its employees to as well. If you make money you make the company money .

Cons

Hours can vary and expect to work weekends. Customers are always needing help because you will work with an older clientale base. However, they do accomodate if you work more hours to take off also. There is going to be some down time.

Great company to work for as an engineering co-op. Opportunities to develop many professional engineering and interpersonal skills. Toyota treats their co-ops as full-time engineers.

The experience largely depends on which department you are placed in and your mentor. Some co-ops have very rewarding experiences; others not so much. Work-life balance of full-time engineers seems to be poor.

International environment, using latest technologies, good level of team work, can get what you want but need to work for it to get approval, strong challenge mentality, opportunities to change functions within the company.

Many high barriers and layers to pass to get approval, difficult to go it alone without intervention from home division in Japan, working culture can sometime boarder on disrespect for people.

Advice to Senior Management
