Pros

New carpet at the entry Improving your japanese if you speak it Close to St Paul (though I have no windows) Free coffee

Cons

I have a dead end job, you need to play politics to be promoted, there is absolutely no communication with senior management (maybe if you speak japanese you may get a few words), non japanese and non directors were the one to be laid off in 2009. No much future for Mizuho I am afraid. A big corporation paralysed by its own bureaucracy. Frozen salaries since 07 (for the lucky ones like me not fired). Don't join Mizuho honestly
