Pros
People are very friendly and benefits are great. There is quite a bit of expertise, however, it is not well-utilized. Working for a Japanese company teaches how to be respectful of other cultures Cafeteria has great food. You will learn a lot about working with Japanese
Cons
Management is quite weak and HR is punitive although they like to put on a good show of their nice benefits and work/life balance. If you work with Japan or Netherlands, will need to work very long hours. However, you can work from home and use flexible hours. Although they try to recruit experienced people from big pharma, they rarely use their expertise. This results in having to dummy down; to use old approaches that were tried 10 years ago. The technologies and science is not cutting edge and they are trying to compete with big pharma.
