Pros

High tendency to learn multiple skills, do many projects, and gain wider experiences and hands on! Good to go around the region and understand multiple markets.

Cons

One dominated nationality that control every aspect of the company, very very slow career growth and high level of politics. The company is operated by hiring the cousin of someone or the brother of the friend of someone which majorly helping the company to de-grow due to lack of diversity. The company (or at least the decision makers on hiring) are not in favor of hiring Arabs, Westerns, other nationalities. Obviously the one to blame is the sleeping fuzzy Japanese management who are very highly hypnotized and manipulated by the managing elite. Sad.. very sad..

Pros

The company offers a very international environment with talented and passionate professionals. The job itself is very exciting as it encompasses all the aspect of a product lifecycle from consumer insights to great interaction with product management and regional teams, creating the full marketing plan and insuring its implementation dealing with the local marketing people and various agencies. Everyone is very engaged in the process and eager to make each product a success while keeping the brand true quality value. It's both a friendly and geek atmosphere :-)

Cons

The last reorganization moved many global roles to Japan so there are less international job opportunities if you are outside Japan (it's pros if you are there though).
