Nice place to start, but very few opportunities for fast promotion

Research engineer

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Very good place for a fresh graduate student to grow into a true researcher/engineer. Decent access to academic resources, plus plenty of internal technical resources. Quite international style, no longer a typical japanese company. Lots of clubs and social activities.

Cons

Very limited communications with academia, especially for young researchers. Be really patient for promotions... Not speaking Japanese will be a great drawback.

Layoffs for America, but this won't help the company.

Staff engineer

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

When the company is doing well, it is a great place to work. There are great benefits, great people, and challenging work.

Cons

Company is in a downward spiral and I would not recommend working there now. Senior Management always announces how to improve, but never has a plan to improve.
