- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Job security, good working people amongst departments.
Cons
Pay and antiquated decision making.
- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Get overpaid to do very little work if you don’t count listening to meetings at odd hours as work
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Pay is amazing, seriously like way more than anywhere else. Everyone is nice to your face and non confrontational. You’ll never know what people think of you and if you like that kind of thing you’ll do well here. It’s almost impossible to get fired unless to steal or break the law
Cons
Organizational confusion. Hard to get visibility If senior management doesn’t know you well. There is a ton of wasted effort and energy around very minor things and it takes far too long to make decisions. Culture is very risk averse which is t surprising for a Japanese company. Most of the senior leaders live in an ivory tower
Continue reading - Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Excellent culture, benefits, and corporate mindset/goals
Cons
Upper management is very conservative.
