Pros

Job stability, it is literally almost impossible to get fired unless you have done something horrible like not show up for days on end, ok group of people to work around

Cons

There are a lot of internal politics and games that are played here. For any sort of advancement, it's all about who you know. Can be very cliquey especially if you are associated with anyone on the outs with upper management. Promotions are nearly impossible. No training or procedures for anything. There is little to no communication amongst teams and much of their methods and approach is in a very archaic mindset. Working was in a reactive not proactive world, where innovative thinking was looked down upon

Pros

Good benefits, Health and Dental, Vision, up to 4% 401k match

Cons

New management has no idea how business supposed to be managed. They are pulling management folks from Intel and Amazon. Taking new development to Oregon where their homes are. Also, sent most of the work to India to show the profitability. The company doesn't have traditional Japanese culture any more under current management as everyone is trying to fill their pockets and looking for their benefits.
