Pros

People are nice and friendly and tries to help each other when manpower is an issue. Good colleagues. However not sure if that will be the case when new recruits join. A lot of OT, which is good if you want money. Benefits are not bad. Good place to toughen yourself towards harsher work life.

Cons

Typical Japanese work culture. A lot of workers are overworked, myself included. Hiring Manager was not honest about OT needed, days of work may as well be 6 instead of the typical 5. HR needs to learn to listen and respect its lower paid workers. Only started to take action when it was too late. AM is inexperienced with managing people. Lots of emotional drama during work. Fear-culture. A lot of integrity issues. Safety is almost non-existent. If you're a fresh grad looking to start a career, try something else, please.
