Pros

- Good company benefits - Famous brand, the best products in market - Generally people are pleasant to work and super passionate for the brand which helps - Good work life balance if you are in the right team/department - Organisation is rich with talent and intelligent thinkers

Cons

Poor progression. The company has tried to address this and introduce programmes to foster an environment for progression but senior management haven't bought into the idea. Resulting in bags of talent leaving the organisation Lack of direction, strategy is unclear and has been communicated poorly for a number of years leaving many employees disengaged and wondering what am I actually doing here? Complete lack of trust between "employees" and senior management There is an "us and them culture" when it comes to employees seconded from head office in Tokyo with double standards and inconsistencies when it comes to pay and renumeration No diversity in senior management
