Pros

+ Delicious eats at the cafeteria + Complimentary snacks + Java on the house

Cons

Inadequate coordination and management across teams - Consistent grievances from various teams under all GMs, citing redundancy in tasks among multiple teams (an inward focus is deemed more detrimental than an outward one) - Ongoing challenges in Japan vs. US collaboration - The US management's emphasis on increasing employee count as an achievement was a central theme, with pride in phrases like "I expanded the team to X" - Subpar middle to senior management, lacking fundamental understanding of management principles (such as operational leverage and project management). The management tends to excessively micromanage experienced engineers, allocating specific tasks and dictating their actions, which is not an efficient use of time.

Pros

I loved the talented people I worked with; I appreciated being appreciated; I loved helping employers hire; and I really thought this would be the company I retired from.

Cons

The company culture changed significantly after it became publicly traded; I didn't particularly care for how they handled layoffs; they didn't always act on the feedback they received; and they were slow to jump on the AI train.
