Pros

The bonus is considered ok

Cons

This company is deeply toxic, especially under a vice president who rules through micromanagement, shouting, and frequent verbal abuse, including cursing and public humiliation of employees. If you join the engineering department, expect to work long hours (8–10 hours a day) without a proper office, chair, or even basic workplace facilities. There is no structured onboarding or training, new hires are left to figure things out on their own, often with no clear job scope or guidance. Career development is nonexistent, as the company rarely offers training or courses, and if you stay too long, your skills will stagnate. Most of the workforce consists of long serving employees with toxic attitudes and limited exposure, many of whom only know how things work within Maruwa and lack proper experience or openness to improvement. Workers are often reassigned to different departments or roles without any notice, and rather than receiving support, you’re likely to be criticized and belittled by coworkers who expect you to instantly know everything. This is not a place for professional growth, only survival. My advice to you is do not work here. If you wish to experince how to work in toxic environment, this is the best place.

Pros

Small company, so communication should be easy. That's it.

Cons

This company has a lot of problems that start from the top. Favoritism is a big issue. If the president/CEO likes you, things are okay. If not, they will make your work life very difficult. Performance reviews are done but employees never get to see the results. There is no transparency at all. Retaliation happens. I saw it myself. If you speak up or do something management does not like, there are consequences. It is not a safe place to raise concerns. The turnover is shocking. This is a small company. In 2025, almost half of the employees left because of the work environment and how poorly the company treats people. New people keep getting hired but they do not stay long. I heard that Japan headquarters sees Maruwa America employees as disposable. The turnover numbers show that this is true. Pay is below market. Maruwa Japan is known for good bonuses, but Maruwa America pays no bonus at all. Raises are rare and based on who likes you, not how well you perform. Bullying is normal here. Once you are not in favor with leadership, the treatment gets hostile. This is a pattern, not a one time thing.
