Pluspunten

- A handful of talented and dedicated engineers who genuinely care about their work. - Salary used to be competitive, though it seems newer hires are getting less than earlier ones. - Environment can be rewarding if you are a robotics engineer working on core projects.

Minpunten

- The company claims to live by its six “core values,” but in reality they are just lip service — decisions and behavior consistently contradict them. - Leadership is erratic. The CEO frequently reorganizes the company whenever he discovers a new “management formula” in a book or article, leading to constant instability. - Middle management is unprofessional: poor treatment of engineers, inappropriate behavior, dishonesty, and quietly pushing people out instead of handling issues transparently. - Instead of investing in the Tokyo office, the company is shifting work to lower-cost, lower-skill teams abroad, which has significantly hurt product quality and morale. - Salaries are inconsistent — large gaps between levels and cohorts, with compensation generally getting worse over time. - Unless you’re in robotics, career growth and learning opportunities are very limited.
