Pros
Standard Japanese corporate culture with a five-day workweek and seven-hour working days. Good environment to learn and hone your skills. As of 2024, the company continues to support work-from-home arrangements and offers flexi-time options. There is an employee union and a collective labor agreement in place. Employees at certain job levels are provided with a company phone, among other benefits.
Cons
The company’s salary range may be below the industry average. The company has many senior employees, which can make career progression challenging. It's important to carefully select your business unit—such as textiles, minerals, foods, chemicals, or plastics—as performance can vary significantly between sectors, with some naturally outperforming others.
