Pros

Not at all. If I must say something about Daikin, Daikin are rarely to make you fired and lay-off unless you violate legal rules or compliance, or the performance of Daikin suddenly drops.

Cons

Many bad practical managers, no governance, not effective and logical working system. These managers cannot manage tasks of his/her members, and these members have to do too-long overtime work. Furthermore, if they are in some job grade or upper , they are assigned automatically to discretionary labor system, and Daikin don’t pay enough overtime pay to them(Instead of this, they get only less than 400 USD per month). What a ridiculous working environment, aren’t you!? And the HQ in Japan doesn’t determine clear job descriptions for members and divisions which belong to Japan. From this reason, a small and trivial project have not been proceeded at all due to the interruption by other divisions or departments, so we have to spend a lot of time to arrange their opinions individually... If you want to work in Japan, I don’t recommend this company at all. You should choose better chances in order to be happy for your life.

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.
