Strong personal growth opportunities but pay lags behind Western firms

Research engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Lots of growth opportunities, especially for young engineers. You are surrounded by seasoned and capable engineers from Hitachi group. Lot's of internal training, and work in Japan is much more team oriented compared to the more individualized cubicle environment of teh west. Which for me was way better,

Cons

The salaries are considered on the higher end for a Japanese firm in Japan, but of course, low compared to Western counterparts. The cost of living is affordable so it's good as long as you stay in Japan.

Used to be great, but is now a hollow shell

Sr. specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

It’s a job. Most people are nice. Interesting work.

Cons

More work, less pay. They did away with overtime for salaried employees, so moved most hourly to salary. But still require the same 50-60 hours per week to get your job done. Stopped covering shut down and now have to take vacation time. Medical costs skyrocketing. Long term people and management leaving, so staff are required to take over their duties (and hours) for no additional pay. People are stressed and it’s beginning to show in their health and attitude. Don’t know any long term employees that aren’t looking elsewhere for a job.
