Pros

Employees! These people are the lifeblood of this company. They accomplish so much with so little.

Cons

I can’t understand how the employees get anything done at Hirata. The accounting system is worthless. Project cost tracking and financial accuracy are nonexistent. Executive management is just a bunch of puppets incapable of coming up with a singe original idea. They hold mid level employees and management accountable for impossible goals but they continue to mismanage the company into financial chaos. No raises in two years and no bonuses either. No explanations given the employees about when or if they will receive bonuses or raises. One town hall meeting per year where the executive team speaks incoherently about company pipe dreams but provides nothing of substance. Hirata is a big black hole. Run far, run fast.

Hirata had a management change in 2019, since the change they have paid above average bonuses every year and annual increases. Quarterly town hall meeting are held to allow open communication with team members. Culturally, adding the Sunshine events, restructuring the organization and becoming a more cohesive management team has allowed the organization to work smarter. Our team members are our greatest asset and we show our appreciation to them in many ways. The Hirata of 2018 is not the Hirata of 2022 and beyond.
