Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Fantastic company culture which Honda definitely emphasis ; 'you meet the nicest people at Honda'. However, poor general atmosphere. Offices extremely quiet - could hear a pin drop and conversations sometimes felt like you were talking to the entire department.
Many other companies have better breakout rooms and facilities which allows for more comfortable bonding within teams. E.g.; Other companies have pool tables for example.
