MISUMI Product Department Employee Reviews
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
Review from Product Dept
Good company to work for with a growing business. PTO/personal days can be more generous.
Review from Product Dept
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They do seem to promote me in order to keep me, but I find that some executives ride largely blind, don't take advice from the people that are actually doing the work, & allow a lot of wasted time. I don't think this is the majority, most put in a lot of effort & at least try to have a solid vision!
Review from Product Dept
Strategy-oriented mindset, commitment to localization
Review from Product Dept
I do like that they seem to care about their employees and they try to be transparent about what the goals are and the plan to get there
Review from Product Dept
Gives a clear direction on career path and goal.
Review from Product Dept
They always want to innovate
Review from Product Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communicating, Listening to employees, explaining decisions
Review from Product Dept
Retaining employees for longer than 4 months
Review from Product Dept
Communicating better and increase pay
Review from Product Dept
They Need to actually listen to their employees. I heard during an exit interview HR said "We don't know why people are leaving" this was shortly after they released the poor responses of the Pulse check survey. Nothing has seemed to change since they released the survey results. Falls on deaf ears.
Review from Product Dept
Many of them are largely not capable of doing actual work and would rather act like they're capable, I know a decent amount of members of leadership that are truly capable of doing the work that they request & it shows, they know what they want & it transitions incredibly into leading a group.
Review from Product Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
They pay me around market rate, but we'll see if that's the case after this promotion cycle.
Review from Product Dept
I am not sure about that
Review from Product Dept
Good 401k match. If this also applies to health care benefits, Misumi offers good coverage.
Review from Product Dept
Good health insurance and bonus possibility.
Review from Product Dept
Flexible remote work from home
Review from Product Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Valid level of compensation compared with other US companies, not Japanese companies
Review from Product Dept
I came from a place that paid significantly more than what I make here for similar work. I actually am doing the work of several people at my old place but the pay doesn't reflect that. I also feel like we aren't given the resources needed to do the best work and are spread too thin.
Review from Product Dept
My compensation inherited the amount from the past when I was on an expat role.
Review from Product Dept
Pay is okay, work from home is a key benefit that needs to be kept
Review from Product Dept
Yes. I have researched my market value and just request that I get paid at least close to my market value.
Review from Product Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
Some are very dull & I think management has made some decently poor choices of skills & mindsets that are important, but they're good people as a whole so I don't mind too much.
Review from Product Dept
People. Everyone is open-minded, friendly, and sincere to their jobs.
Review from Product Dept
We all get along and are good at collaborating with each other in a way that's enjoyable
Review from Product Dept
We are strategic, logical and capable.
Review from Product Dept
sharing the goals, best communication
Review from Product Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Staying on task, showing up on time, doing their tasks
Review from Product Dept
Some of my coworkers just forward work without making an attempt at it, they just send it instead of trying to help
Review from Product Dept
Lots of bad questions, assumptions that learning happens through asking rather than trying. As people, I don't have any problems with anyone but many lazy individuals that would love to shovel things onto other people.
Review from Product Dept
A fuller comprehension of each teams' main responsibilities and resources and being available and attentive to communication - this lack of availability and attentiveness has suffered since returning to the office.
Review from Product Dept
Lots of my coworkers like to blame the things around them for their shortcomings rather than being honest with themselves, though I do agree that many systems here, both technical and personal (training, structure, etc.) are significantly flawed and stunt growth/motivation.
Review from Product Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Work environment is great. Everyone likes collaboration.
Review from Product Dept
Being able to have casual conversations about life outside of work which makes me feel more supported
Review from Product Dept
Mindset of strategic, logical and agile.
Review from Product Dept
People are nice. The office is clean.

Review from Product Dept
Taking disorganized product information and organizing it is satisfying
Review from Product Dept
When we successfully launched or promoted our products for Incremental sales.
Review from Product Dept
Get things done and contribute to the company's success. Helping customers, internal and external.
Review from Product Dept
Working on different projects, seeing them come to fruition, and feeling accomplished by my contribution.
Review from Product Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Nothing, there's a reason we're all paid to be here :)
Review from Product Dept
Sales are going down, customers are losing faith in the brand, CS has been a dumpster fire for years with no end in site. The website is barely functioning with so many issues. People are overworked with no acknowledgement. Only HR, Marketing, GA, and ID get praise for some reason.
Review from Product Dept
More employees in the department
Review from Product Dept
Again, Actually LISTEN to employees complaints and do something about it. Don't wait until people put their 2 weeks in to give them a raise and offer them change in position if they are clearly unhappy. Reward hard work, Don't just give more hard work.
Review from Product Dept
Very few people are excited to go to work, that's why we're paid, but with that said I don't dread going to work, so I'd call it a successful enough setup
