Pros

The employees are good people to work with except for the management . The work environment is good.

Cons

The management decision making is terrible. This is a poorly ran company. They do not involve the people that are effected by their decisions. The company only really cares about the Japanese customers. HR does not properly investigate employee disputes. They have an unfair point system. The hourly employees hate it. There to much favoritism. They have a large turn over of employees. They are very quick to fire. There protected by being an at will employer. The Japanese management want to run the company as they do in Japan. This makes it very difficult for the American members at times. I have seen a lot of good talent either get fired or quit due to the decisions of the Japanese members. I have never seen a Japanese member get fired.

Pros

Generally people have an open minded mentality at work and it is pleasant to work in. (Although I have heard mixed reviews depending on the department you work for) Very challenging environment. Employer seems to care about employee's motivation. Great experience for an engineer right out of college due to the vast amount of job requirements that could change daily. Senior engineers are always willing to help (great mentors). 401k Cheap insurance plan (but does not cover much when needed-about 70~80% of cost)

Cons

This could be bad or good depending on personal preference, but on general there is a lot of travel (This could change according to your job position) Company has conflicting cultures between departments leading to a big mess in coordinating projects (nothing gets done at the right time) When a problem is detected a lot of finger pointing goes around, which prevents employees from learning. Depending on the department you work for, the turnover rate is s very high. (Many people gets fired and hired) Low engineering salary. Depending on the project, long work hours can be expected. (Although this is not every day and every week, you can still have a satisfying personal life. At the same time this is not the place for the regular 8 hours working day)

Pros

Growing company, disciplined, good & fast growth if working w/ labor team. Site observation engineering opportunities.

Cons

Japanese work/social culture adaptation (good work discipline though), competition between Chem & Ref. departments may lead to disorganized project & lack of transparency.
