Business Outlook
Pros
Nice offices with fitness center, on-site cafeteria, Star Bucks and covered parking garage. Some attempt to make it a fun place to work with "take your kid to work day", free movie screenings, some product discounts, etc.
Cons
Very limited local decision making which makes the company slow to respond to competition or changing consumer demands. Seems like the engineers/product designers in Tokyo determine what cool gadgets to make without much input from world market consumers. Senior management has very little financial decision making authority so everything gets analyzed to death up the food chain to Tokyo.
