A good environment to start in an MNC, but not for staying long. A company that need a clean up at the top to survive.

Assistant manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent welfare e.g. staff entitlements, healthcare etc. Mostly great people to work with. Structured processes.

Cons

Lack of communication and strategic direction, bureaucratic decision making by the Japanese. Streamlining of teams also means more work for individual, HR is also not doing their job at exit interviews, simply going through motion & filing feedback, resulting in lack of worklife balance from long working hours, poor mid management that are not qualified to lead but just "overseeing" the projects, end up the lower rank staff managing the executional part of the work
