Fujitsu Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"A Declining Company in a Declining Space run by Declining Talent"

What do you like about working at Fujitsu?

"Flexible hours. Very good benefits from the parent company. Interesting to watch a company implode from the inside; fascinating in a macabre sort of way. Plenty of time to learn new things if you're self motivated."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Ten years ago Glovia had 2000 employees, now they have less than 200. In a space against companies with over 20,000 employees. Do the math. The only reason Fujitsu keeps them around is as a checkbox on a chart of products. While I was there I saw over a dozen reductions in force. Working at Glovia you know one thing: Your day will come, eventually. Great place to work if: 1) You love to live in a constant state of fear, or 2) You just don't care and want to see how crazy it all gets. The bosses are there to get as much as they can out of Japan, and both bosses and employees are there because they can't get a job anywhere else, otherwise they'd have left already. The technology they develop on is beyond ancient: Pro-4. Go ahead, look it up. You might as well be programming in Latin. Fujistu Consulting, which used the same offices as us, refused to sell Glovia products to their own clients, selling our competitor's wares right under our noses! If that doesn't say it all, I don't know what does - they weren't willing to take the risk to their own reputation. This company is not only destined to fail, it already has and nobody's told it it's dead yet. Employees jokingly called it Zombia, as in the walking dead. If you want to know what working for the software equivalent of GM is, dive right in. You will learn a lot. Very little of it good."

What don't you like about working at Fujitsu?

"No raises, ever. Then again, when the company is losing money year after year, raises are the least of your worries. Having a job next week becomes a more pressing concern than worrying about whether you're going to get a raise or not."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Other than firing themselves, there's nothing management can do to help the company. The President doesn't speak English, is never seen, and doesn't have the mental capacity to roll a marble down a teflon coated hall. It's not that his decisions were bad, it's that he never made any. The VP of Programming's main occupation is finding a fall guy to blame his failures on to the Japanese. So he's smart. Just not in a way that helps anybody else. The VP of Sales & Marketing: Advertising isn't worth the investment. Needless to say, he neither marketed nor sold anything, other than himself to the dim bulb at the top."
