Pros

More relaxed culture than the bulge bracket banks, some groups are doing good work, mostly the bankers and credit teams.

Cons

Absolutely unnecessary levels of bureaucracy coming from Tokyo. Planning functions act as a job warehouse to ensure lifetime employment for expats. Efficiency is in no way considered part of the definition of success. Outdated systems and mentality when it come to technology.
