Pros

Its backed as a multinational & out of Japan. Its solid & not going anywhere & you will get your check.

Cons

You will wish it was going somewhere as they feel they are doing you a favor by employing you. Do not get stuck here unless you are a dispassionate person who likes to take orders from others while being under-appreciated & under paid. There is also an overall condescension throughout management that is completely at odds with the mandatory Philosophy classes you have to take (yep).

Pros

Have some form of training for engineers, including six sigma training although is very slow and not as rigorous

Cons

Young people with aspirations to learn and grow should STAY AWAY. There is a high turnover rate among process engineers here. Management is very condescending and demeaning and could suck the positivity of any young engineer who wishes to start their career. Pay is also not competitive especially considering management expectations to work 10 hrs per day.

Pros

Stable job. No fear of layoff. No one works hard, and you don't have to, so that the work-life balance is good. Guaranteed annual bonus.

Cons

Work shift. 8AM-5PM, 8:30AM-5:30PM, or 9AM-5PM. You must be on time and can't leave the office early. Worship the founder like a religious cult. The employees are not paid well, so they tend to fight due to the frustration. Racially divided. This company is located in infamous bad neighborhood called Concord, California. You know what to expect...
