Pros

The teams, staff, tech and projects are fantastic. The company and culture is fantastic overall.

Cons

Some of management have no idea how to manage their teams or work agile. You might end up working adhoc and being heavily micromanaged. This typically seems to occur in parts of the business that are acquisitions because those personnel find it hard to adapt to modern ways of working. There are pockets of non-conformance. There is a lot that is up in the air due to migration to the cloud and the lack of understanding on how to do it and how to stay aligned with other teams, however it has definitely improved and still improving.

Pros

A name brand company is always nice to have on a resume, Employees are generally nice. They care about safety. They have a lot of "town halls" to give you updates about financials. They want internal employees to apply for jobs if they become available. Benefits are decent - they have the minimal to entice good employees.

Cons

Four days in office, even if you were initially hired into the company as a 2 day remote employee. Office is loud and cold. There isn't even enough space but you must come into office to sit on the meetings on Teams. You will get between 0 and 3% raises and you will be told that there is not way to "exceed expectations" but you will be required to and will ambush you to create performance reviews. A giant issue is on it's way to Komatsu - all of their employees are retiring. They are all retiring right now and they are not training others to fill the roles and the next 5 years are going to be painful. Those retiring - they've seen the company go from an amazing company with pensions, extra time off, and extravagant Christmas parties to what they are today - greedy overlords with BYO food for a mid-day Christmas party lunch. It's unfortunate.
