Once Mighty Consumer Electronics Giant...Now More Concerned About Selling Batteries To Tesla, et al
Pros
No question during my time with this company the compensation was good, but I had to fight for every level I accomplished along the way. Benefits were excellent especially in today's business environment post Obamacare where so many companies are shifting more and more costs off to employees that the insurance carriers themselves have decided they want to "pocket" as more profit.
Cons
NO work life balance. 24/7 connected by e-mail, texts and company supplied devices. Lots of management shift their responsibilities downward and deflect their work to others. Japanese management asks for endless reports on the same subjects over and over until they get the numbers that sorta jive with what they were looking for. Like going in circles? Since the U.S. is a major market for training a lot of their younger managers for future senior roles they are stubborn and hard headed and refuse to listen or understand when a given category, business or market changes. Like it's "our" fault. And usually never they accept blame that perhaps the PRODUCTS were the reason for the business decline or failure and not the tireless and hard working efforts of the American staff.
