Pros

- good benefit package and job security - everyone is nice, and not too aggressive. - they are particularly good about accomodating individuals' needs (e.g. working part-time or altering working hours to take children to school)

Cons

- probably not the most ambitious work environment - there is a significant gulf between the Japanese expats and the non-Japanese employees, which can result in frustrating lack of communication. There is significantly less career opportunities for non-Japanaese employees. - the pay probably lags behind most other financial institutions
