Pros

It’s an easy job.

Cons

Working at Mizuho is like environment in the movie Office Space. Endless, pointless paper shuffling is the name of the game there. I had no idea morale could be so low. Also beware of LinkedIn and perhaps Glass Door reviews as the company’s HR (or some similar department) is pushing hard internally for inflated reviews. They are hand selecting people and asking them to write positive things on social media, likely in an effort to inflate the very negative perception of the company. They ask for feedback but it’s widely known that their HR people turn around and tell management that you’ve come to talk to HR, so don’t be surprised to see their HR respond to these reviews that people should have come to talk to them.
