Pros

Has great opportunity to do lots of challenging and interesting works in a very nice working environment with creative and talented people.Has opportunity to work in different sections (not limited to advertising/marketing works) . Specially planning, creative,digital, sports, entertainment sections are very strong. One can even be an entrepreneur getting full support from the company.

Cons

Language barrier would be a problem if you want to work in Japan market. But recently as the company has become aggressive to grow outside Japan, if one join outside Japan it would be a nice place to work.
