Pros

If you are smart enough to print and fill out paperwork, you should coast through easily.

Cons

Where to begin? Never been a part of an organization, work or otherwise, where discontent is so widely shared. It's a given at Mizuho that everybody is just putting one foot in front of the other. Going above and beyond is neither recognized nor expected. In NYC, it's all fear-based and revolves around living in fear of the Tokyo office. A largely unimpressive workforce from top to bottom. Technology is so obsolete I'm not sure how they've survived the pandemic. The focus is on paper pushing over analysis, and by paper, I mean the company literally operates only with physical paper. Primary values include rank-and-file organization, don't speak up or speak out, women are 2nd class, never lock eyes with an old Japanese man, etc.
