Pros

• Good benefits. • Great company for entry level. • Quarterly bonuses.

Cons

• Very strong on the “Japanese” way. • Not very good career growth. • Very difficult to reach “above expectations” • Management tends to look the other way at your accomplishments to continue the same agenda on promotions and raises. • They define the term “micromanagement” • There is an emphasis on tracking time spent on everything you do there, they say it is to promote efficiency, but it is clear it is a passive aggressive way to micromanage. • High turnover. • Absolutely no work life balance, and if you take a day off, it’s like the end of the world.
