Pros

Great company to work for in terms of work life balance, people, pace of work, and the personable support you feel at work. Company protects its employees in time of economic crisis, and rarely cuts jobs or eliminates roles because of external economic factors.

Cons

If you are driven for career growth, its a short ceiling. Limited high management roles, prevents from continuous growth. At some point you reach a ceiling not because of performance but because of opportunities. Need to wait for some one to retire, or change roles.

Pros

A name brand company is always nice to have on a resume, Employees are generally nice. They care about safety. They have a lot of "town halls" to give you updates about financials. They want internal employees to apply for jobs if they become available. Benefits are decent - they have the minimal to entice good employees.

Cons

Four days in office, even if you were initially hired into the company as a 2 day remote employee. Office is loud and cold. There isn't even enough space but you must come into office to sit on the meetings on Teams. You will get between 0 and 3% raises and you will be told that there is not way to "exceed expectations" but you will be required to and will ambush you to create performance reviews. A giant issue is on it's way to Komatsu - all of their employees are retiring. They are all retiring right now and they are not training others to fill the roles and the next 5 years are going to be painful. Those retiring - they've seen the company go from an amazing company with pensions, extra time off, and extravagant Christmas parties to what they are today - greedy overlords with BYO food for a mid-day Christmas party lunch. It's unfortunate.
