Pros

Good work/life balance; very good benefits; nice facilities; great people; nice events for home employees; ability to have any impact across all areas; everyone knows each other; fair pay. Great place to get experience and put it to good use for someone else.

Cons

Senior managment can't get out of their own way; little room to move; question if current senior management can take company to the next level; departmental silos; words like "team" and "quality" used a lot, but no real substance to them; slow to change. Some managers afraid to creatively lead for fear of being "wacked" by their VP, new ideas are not valued.

Risk-adverse, may miss some opportunities. Too heiarchal, all decisions must go through Japan. Some business processes to complicated and slow.
