Pros

The benefits were the best I've ever seen. Not a dime came out of my pay check, and they put money into a rollover HSA with $5 prescriptions. I don't think I ever had to pay anything out of pocket. There is a good culture and everyone is really nice. The hard part about leaving Honda was leaving the people. I haven't found anything like it since! Another pro is they have an AMAZING new onsite gym with great equipment and regulation bball court.

Cons

Purchasing is known to not pay very well. They lose a lot of great talent because lack of pay. I was head hunted and left for an offer making DOUBLE what Honda was paying me. Another Con is it is SO far away from the city. It's an hour from downtown Columbus. You're pretty much stuck living in the Dublin area, unless you like living in BFE. You technically get ZERO sick/PTO your first year, which is ridiculous. How is someone supposed to plan a dr or dentist appointment if work is 35 miles away from civilization.

Pros

Company is stable and room for growth if you stay long enough. Good retirement ie 401k and healthcare benefits.

Cons

Sometimes longer hours depending on team and evening meetings with Japan. Compensation is lower generally than industry average.
