Pros

Friendly colleague from other departments that comes up to you even though we don't work together

Cons

Salary package is one of the lowest among regional roles out there. Annual leaves follows MOM guidelines but not comparable to other MNCs. Company puts Japanese expats first in terms of package and career advancement. Company processes are so 2000's. Too traditional and manual. Meeting occupied majority of your day and too little time to complete tasks since it is very manual. HR/hiring manager focuses more on 'just hiring' and does not filter traits that fits the role and team that results unnecessary polities and toxic personality to surface within the team that brings the team morale down. Example: People that joined the company less than long service award staffs thinks they are of high quality, badmouthing everyone within the team.

Pros

Everyone is genuinely nice and cares about their jobs. Nice offices, and big corporate backing. Can't really say that the experience was negative but for high acheivers/ ambitious people probably not what you're looking for.

Cons

A ton of bueracracy, there are some many layers of approval that even the simplest things take months to get done. They never take any risks and ideas are very top down. Slow career progression and mediocre salary. Only way to progress is to hope someone in the same position retires or leaves.
