Pros
Bridgestone lives up to the values it advertises - which is rare for a company this size. They truly do care about teammates, and invest in people through professional development, great benefits, challenging projects. They have a strong focus on DE&I, and everyone here is free to be who they are. There is a lot of potential for growth in your current career path, and even opportunities to try a new path if that's one of your goals. Leadership is open to feedback and new ideas are welcomed. There is a lot of engagement with the community and volunteering, and a genuine "family first" attitude.
Cons
Since the different departments/groups/teams at Bridgestone are given so much autonomy (which is a good thing), there is a lack of standardization for processes and structure that can be confusing and inefficient at times.
