      Pros

      - Many opportunities to broaden one's cultural experiences, especially w.r.t. the Japanese culture - Few formal corporate systems in overseas subsidiaries, hence broad scope of stepping up and taking the initiative BUT see also related Con

      Cons

      - Below market remuneration for non-Japanese staff - Non-Japanese staff often kept out of the loop on developments - Few formal corporate systems means that staff are at the mercy of management. If management likes you, that is fine. If not, then not much you can do about it. - Related to the above, nepotism and discrimination tend to flourish in such an environment.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The everchanging challenges of manufacturing presented new problems to solve everyday. Multiple areas of focus to diversify the workload. Many experienced mentors available to assist from multiple departments. Mixed model production means that new products are introduced every few months. Ability to work with all departments within the company to better your understanding of the company. Great camaraderie within the company.

      Cons

      Very little onsite or offsite training was available. Many projects were thrown on a single worker with little input or oversight resulting in many failed attempts. Constantly changing effective areas frustrated many assemblers. Long hours and weekend work was almost a requirement to achieve deadlines for projects. Pay was below average with little to no advancement possible within the first 5-8 years.
