      Pros

      Hirata makes wonderful custom manufacturing equipment used in many industries, from tire manufacturing to flat panel displays to back end assembly/test equipment. The projects can often be interesting and challenging.

      Cons

      Complete lack of trust between Japan and US. US employees are considered temporary and expendable. Rampant politics. Pay is below market and general employee population is of mediocre talent and drive. US leadership on assignment from Japan lacks management depth and leadership. Human resources is inexperienced and unqualified, focusing on monitoring and restricting employees rather than finding, retaining, and nurturing talent. Accounting is penny wise and pound foolish, disallowing a simple dry cleaning bill on an extended trip but allowing undocumented customer entertainment expenses up to $500/night. Employees are given little direction and performance evaluations are a sham.

      Great advice to management - in 2019 this restructuring occurred. Management is held accountable for their team, team members are held accountable, budgets and projects are watched monthly. Success is inevitable.
