Pros

Invests in employees through classes at Denso during normal business hours.

Cons

As with most Japanese companies, change is very difficult to push through. Even when the business's environment requires it.

Pros

Sometimes you get to work on interesting projects. Usually they follow through on promises to pay out bonuses and give raises. Most of the people that work here are intelligent and not lazy.

Cons

If you love tons of Lotus Notes Databases, Office 2003, Windows, XP, Internet Explorer 6, and having the rest of the technology you use being 8 years older than the old technology than this is the place for you (For reference: it's August 2011 and Windows XP was released in 2001). Also, you must love working OT without being paid for it and be prepared to never be promoted unless you work in HR, Sales or Engineering. Japanese Management does not communicate with Americans and most can barely speak English.
