Bad. Terrible. Lame. Annoying. Sad.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

They need to adopt meritocracy and stop nepotism.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Most of the products don't offer anything new or different and are just upgrades of existing products. NEC is slowly losing its place to competitors.

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

There is a big difference between what they are hiring for, what they tell at the interview and what they actually assign you to do. There is no integrity.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

The coworkers are either people who are struggling because of nepotism and planning to get out, or well established people in the company who keep getting benefits and good appraisals because of their friends.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

The company still works like a classic bureaucratic Japanese company where everything happens slowly. Although NEC makes "cutting edge" technologies, they don't even use their own products internally. Employee compensation is very low unless you belong to certain schools or already know the managers

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Less qualified people who end up ruining projects earn way more than hard working people with proper qualifications who help get the projects in the first place. On being questioned why, the only answer HR has is affiliation to a school/university or "experience in industry".
