Pros

Great products, great people to work with, and a great good company culture. Nice work-life balance with inspiring work to do. Nice Japanese coordinators. Great travel opportunities to meet dealers and customers that make our business successful.

Cons

All the new departments are making things messy at the company. Too many new people getting in the way of people getting work done and creating inefficiencies. So many new departments at Kubota North America that nobody knows what they do or what value they bring, but have to be included in everything and prove themselves. Leadership gets an idea that we need something so rather give the work or direction to existing departments, a new department or team just springs up out of nowhere with a director or employee that has to prove themselves and nobody knows what their purpose is.

Pros

Entirely possible to find one’s niche as an individual contributor, get paid well, and have a low stress job under a director that cares about you.

Cons

One of the most clueless HR departments I have ever worked with, directors that constantly fight and undermine each other, and a good ole boys club of US executives that all knew each other “back in the day” in the industry [e.g. AGCO]. The company lacks vision, business acumen, and understanding of organizational change management.
