Pros

Some very good people in the sales/marketing side of the business. Marketing does a good job of trying to keep people informed. Global presence. Flexible working options. Pay and benefits were good. Good quality products (but there is a catch, see below).

Cons

While the products are good quality, they lack the features, range and visibility necessary to compete in North America against established global vendors (ie. HP, IBM, Dell, Oracle, etc...). The products are basically a "me too" and there is no significant install base outside of Japan and parts of Europe. No brand recognition in North America. Very limited channel presense. Job security is questionable but this probably depends somewhat on which side of the business you're in. Training is completely non-existant. No real vision for the future - this was my own opinion and was also the feedback I received from several clients. These same clients also noted that there was no good reason to switch to Fujitsu from a more established vendor. Marketing is non-existant (in NA) and a strategy to compete in the NA market is not clear or obvious. Communication from management is poor, lots of re-organization. Internal promotions are very uncommon. The strong focus on consulting significantly reduces the likelyhood of Fujitsu ever becomming a volume vendor in the NA hardware market.
