Pros

Great work-life balance, compensation and benefits: especially the 401K additions and the ability to take time off for philanthropy activities separate from vacation time!

Cons

Promotion often based on lineage/network versus achievement, especially if you develop close ties to a Japanese Exec or, in the US, are part of the boy's club! Additionally, lack of multi-level multi-directional reviews ensures bad bosses do not get identified easily (or at all)
