Vantaggi
There were many talented, dedicated people at the company. The physical atmosphere was nice and everyone was well equipped with the tools to perform their jobs. The corporate culture was poised and non-volatile.
Svantaggi
NEC does a reorg nearly every year. This makes the work environment very unstable as their is very little permanancy. Often the re-org decisions are made in Japan which means your personal contributions, etc. may never even be considered in the decisions. One of the biggest challenges in working at NEC Electronics, America, is that the big decisions all come from Japan and they are not very savvy on how to be successful doing business with Western companies.
