Pros

It's fun with products and you get some cool merchandise to use.

Cons

You can't ever get anywhere because all the upward movement is totally based on politics, and the Japanese do NOT care about your opinion-It's their culture. You do not matter-They only respect title and wealth, other then that-they don't want to hear how to improve in any way their business-they are smarter then you and they want you to know it. They expect you to work 80 hours like they do. I would not work here unless your prepared to have a new manager every 6 months and he has to be the one to advocate to the Japanese for you. You don't get to interact with them unless they want to. It's very hard. They have extremely large egos throughout this organization. Why>? I'm not sure. Legacy isn't everything!
