Pros

It comes to the appraisal, everyone gets average. No bad rating and no competition. Very peaceful work place.

Cons

Since most of the management is Japanese who have been with the firm forever, and there is no culture of “career management” in Japan, such is they promote every 2 or 3 years without any condition. And you need to stay at the same position at least 2-3 years even your performance or achievement is outstanding. Japanese people doesn’t like conflict and any approve has to be pre-agreed with everyone before actual approve process or even committes need briefing the committee contents before the actual committee to make sure there is no conflict or objection or discussion during the commitee. so that the process takes forever, no wonder Japanese has to work till midnight....
