NEC was a good place to work, with good people working there.
Sr. Systems Administrator (Former Employee), Herndon, VA – April 22, 2013
I learned many things at NEC, mainly in the Systems Administration and Network Administration position. With almost eighteen years at the company, I became quite adept at managing all of the different systems that needed to be taken care of in order to provide the best support possible for the end users.

SE (Former Employee), NYC – April 3, 2013
Pros: big name
Cons: big name but does not mean anything
My biggest challenge with NEC has been your ability to manager your career and the lack of programs that help you manage your own career. There is also no structure around the difference organizations within the company. You know who the leads are, but there really aren't many champions of each group. Every March its restructure time and people are – more... lay off. They preach One-NEC but do not practice it at all. – less

Great place to work
Senior Data Architect (Former Employee), Santa Clara, CA – February 23, 2013
Pros: great long-term place to work
Cons: lack of support from higher level management
NEC is a Japanese based company. They tend to take a very long investment in their employees. If you or your group has a bad month you don't have to worry about job security.

Management is very hands-off and will only step in if you have problems.

Sales Position
ACCOUNT MANAGER (Former Employee), Chicago, IL – July 27, 2012
Pros: base pay and benefits are good
Cons: unattainable and unrealistic goals
This company will not train you it is all on your own. Many services and products are very complicatedand they only teach you through webinars and then expect you to get million dollar deals. They do not give you anytime to build the relationship with the customer they just want the sale. Goals are unrealistic and mostly unattainable. Managers are pushed – more... hard so they push sales reps even harder. Do not expect long term employment since you compete against their dealers who sell the same equipment at cheaper labor rates. They have had 2 restructures in 1 year. Base pay and benefits are good, but commission are based on gross profit and you never get what you expect.

I would look at other places before looking at NEC. You will not last long. – less

Overall, Good place to work.
Wafer FAB Operator II (Former Employee), Roseville, CA – May 21, 2012
Pros: good work hours, uncomplicated work, consistent schedule.
Cons: job security, upper management.
The hours were very consistent and good, with opportunity for overtime. Pay was fairly decent considering the hours(12hr night shift).

The job itself was good and fairly easy, although very monotonous.

3/4 consecutive days work, then 3/4 consecutive days off was nice, although adjusting to normal hours took some practice.

Compensation, advancement, – more... and job security became more at risk as companies business and economy became poor.

Long hours were tough but manageable. Employees take time to get used too (gossip, favoritism), upper management unaware of work floor problems and only see numbers. – less

Interesting work place
Steward (Former Employee), Birmingham – October 26, 2012
Pros: usualy get to see a great concert free
Cons: not very flexiable on starting after 5.30, which can be difficult when you finsh work at 5 and then have to get to the nec in rush hour traffic, very few hours offered to non regulars
A typical day would consist of a team briefing at 5.30 then do a security check of your area before doors open to the public at 6. Then dependant on your position posted you would remain alert at all times and continue to be polite and helpful. Usual finish time was 11.30 but sometimes the artist continued over due to a late start.
