Nice folks, no growth

Pros

Friendly staff, on-site team building events, relaxed environment.

Cons

Absolutely no growth. Traditional Japanese company - not willing to change. A majority of the staff have been there forever, so they are stuck in their ways. The salaries are WAY below market rate - hard to live in the area.

Pros

The products are good quality, but the overall line is old and not being updated.

Cons

IDEC USA is a sales arm for IDEC Japan. The focus is to make products for the Japanese market and attempt to sell them to US customers. The available products are a hodgepodge of switches, automation, safety, etc., but there are no complete line of anything making it hard to identify a customer base. Management is an assortment of family and long time Managers that are only interested in profit at the end of the day. Availability is a problem, understanding the market is a problem, and getting the tools you need to do your job is a problem. If you are getting ready to retire and you just want a few more years, IDEC is good, if you are young and aggressive, this is not the place to be.

Pros

Gym, break rooms on site with tea and coffee in Sunnyvale, CA office. 1-2x on site lunches every 3-4 months. 60% vacancies in cubicle. Quiet work zone Work on site daily for non supervisory roles Retiree work environment Work/life balance- not much overtime work. 50/50 on medical coverage Less than 50 people. Work culture is similar to Tesla

Cons

25%-30% less than average market. Work 8 hours in this branch = getting 6 hours from outside company for a reasonable market price. (Work 5 days a week with IDEC = getting pay for only 4 days of work from similar industry in the nearby cities.) Managerial level -enjoying double standards on working from home, call in for absences, or work half day on their flexible schedules; some managers even allow their subordinates to do the same by not putting in company’s record for absences or late to work. Controller, CEO lack of concern on quality of work and attendance from those department managers.
