Pros

Bridgestone is an old school manufacturing organization in the middle of a cautious, long-term modernization program. There are many warm, welcoming, team-oriented elements of Bridgestone culture that I love and appreciate. There are also some excellent product teams and technologists working hard to bring pieces of the Bridgestone Mobility Solutions vision to fruition.

Cons

Warm and welcoming elements do have trade-offs. For instance, there's a large amount of time and effort invested in reorganization. For instance, Bridgestone Mobility Solutions experienced three major reorganizations throughout the past under two years. This isn't inherently a con but your response depends on your adaptability to change. Middle management is a deep and distributed layer in the company as well. Again, this is not strictly speaking a "con" but it is a reality that generates trade-offs like: not being able to move as quickly to create and ship products / features, lots of opinions but few decisions, consensus-driven thinking vs. customer-driven thinking, etc
