Pros

The engineering department has many opportunities to learn and apply basic engineering skills. Also if you are hardworking there are many opportunities to travel and learn from Japanese sister companies

Cons

Production department as of now is technically very poor, and they end up pushing a lot of their responsibilities to you as the line engineer. In my opinion this stems from the production HODs who are given too much power and say in the company's direction. This sense of entitlement flows down to (some of) their subordinates who throw their weight around to order people to get things done. It is the worst part of this company.

Pros

Its in a nice building

Cons

Insane lack of communication; left alone after 3 hours on my first day. Did the work they wanted but not fast enough and they had a backup waiting to take my place and were not coy or secretive about that whatsoever. Was told not to bring lunch my first day. So I didn't bring lunch my first day. They did not provide lunch on my first day. I went out and bought food and then came back and worked alone the rest of the day. My trainer had retired years prior from a different company and couldn't understand that a PDF could be opened more than one way. What a relief I did not stick around. Oh yeah and I got very sick when they called to lay me off, but they needed their stuff back. Do you think they sent a courier? Nah. I went in thd next day, still sick, and waited over 10 minutes until hopping the security gate because no one was there AND I WAS SICK. Yeah, shortly after I received my positive COVID results. Welp, that about sums up my short stint at this place. Legal dept was completely chaotic. Also the open floorplan was awful during covid.
