Many managers not enough leadersThe good thingsStress free environment, proper 8-5 job minimal late night calls. If you are looking to retire than this is the company for you.
The challengesLocal superiors unable to mentor, very poor knowledge as leads. Everything needs to be confirmed back to HQ in Japan. If you are an ambitious engineer then this company is not for you. You have to have a robot mentality, do what is told. Small opportunities to grow. Most of the time you learn by experience.
Food is bland in canteen, HR are non existence and give importance to the lesser things which is irrelevant. Too many ex-Sony employees which ruin the Japanese base culture.
