Sumitomo Bakelite

Is this your company?

It is 2025 but the company runs like it is the 1980s. - Executive Sumitomo Bakelite Employee Review

Pros

Colleagues are generally nice and supportive people. Canteen food is good and cheap. Good performance bonus.

Cons

Misogynistic management. Dictatorship and run by a tyrant. Feels like a corporate mini version of North Korea. Many colleagues keep shouting but management is fine with it. As long as you get your work done, shouting is fine. Join at your own risk.

Pros

Operating as a small company allows everyone to wear many hats at work, adds to the work variety, and is a boon to the next job. The company is striving to achieve the certifications needed to stay competitive in its difficult market. There are also some individuals at this location that make working there fun at times.

Cons

Has organizational discipline issues, making real improvements in the company's ability to compete a daily battle. Being operated as a small company, there's little job mobility at this location, which results in the loss of the most driven individuals.
