Pros

some of the products are superb, industry leading - often introducing new technologies ahead of the competition, but failing to capitalise due to lack of marketing investment

Cons

Run by a multitude of accountants, so the only objective is always cutting costs. Staff morale very low. HR policies (such as access to free product, staff behaviour) are applied on a "who you are" basis and not according to the policies applicable to all.

Pros

Nice to start professional career at lower career level. Nice industry.

Cons

Totally incompetent senior management. No vision, no plans, no opportunities. A result of old-fashioned Japanese business culture of purely pleasing your own manager, rather than doing your job and questioning anything. Not inclusive at all: only old Japanese men in the top. No women, no other cultures, etc. Macho men ruling the company like it's still 1975. Pure politics. Senior leaders do not adapt to changed consumer behavior and HR standards. Huge staff turnover in all offices outside of Japan, for years.
