Great place to start out

Pros

More than 30% of workers in the Tokyo headquarters are non-Japanese, so you can find your own community. With a large variety of businesses, you can develop your career or transfer to a new place to get new experiences. Great stepping stone for your career, and pays generously for new graduate employees.

Cons

The company can be resistant to change, and for better or worse, it's heavily influenced by the CEO's wishes. It also has very few women in high-level leadership. Employees who join right after graduation have few opportunities to get much higher pay.
