Pros

Great products, great people to work with, and a great good company culture. Nice work-life balance with inspiring work to do. Nice Japanese coordinators. Great travel opportunities to meet dealers and customers that make our business successful.

Cons

All the new departments are making things messy at the company. Too many new people getting in the way of people getting work done and creating inefficiencies. So many new departments at Kubota North America that nobody knows what they do or what value they bring, but have to be included in everything and prove themselves. Leadership gets an idea that we need something so rather give the work or direction to existing departments, a new department or team just springs up out of nowhere with a director or employee that has to prove themselves and nobody knows what their purpose is.

Pros

People in most departments are great to work with. No layoffs. Since the company is used to having nothing in terms of development, any efforts tend to be appreciated.

Cons

Quite possibly the most incompetent HR department I’ve ever seen. HR Business Partners are both micromanaging while not knowing what to do in their jobs. Every director in the department is too busy fighting with each other to get anything done. Other non-HR departments in the company are hesitant to work with them because of it.
