Pros

As industry leader, it is surely a Global brand with great quality tires. The products are recognised worldover and customer recognises the quality.

Cons

Company hierarchy and the way promotions and benefits are given to employees. More benefits and rewards based on only years of work experience in past, irrespective of performance, education and skills.

Pros

Bridgestone provides steady work for most job types in a reasonable atmosphere. Their products are something to be proud of. Lately the business structure keeps salaries below the average, then compensates with large bonusses, easily 20% or more of the base salary.

Very piramidal organization but not clear direction from senior management. Decission making is done in Japanese only meetings and very little feedback is given to the rest of the organization. Some japanese managers believe they can dictate on their subordinates like the shogun on his slaves; even if you are a manager you will have to get used to be the taxi driver, delivery boy,...
