Pros
Good cafe. Decent food and subsidized green arrow meals daily at $3.15 Playful environment with athletics and soccer field. Used to make great video games.
Kontras
Japanese company, all decisions made by NCL. No room for growth. Company slow to respond to ideas and trends. NOA can easily be compared to both Xeroz and Kodak. Management is good old boys network and have to kiss up to get promoted or know Japanese. Slow to accept new ideas or try new techniques. Pay is low and work encourages employees to try and do more with less resources. Soon I just do less with less resources. Not tech savvy company and they are behind curve in innovation. (project galaxy?? ) Star system Associate employees are treated as Permatemps. (some associates have been w/company over 7+ years and not offered full time jobs) Stock/profit sharing only for management and above. Don't promote from within.
