Pros
On the surface, Otsuka seems like a unique place to work. A Japanese company with a unique culture, it advertises itself to prospects as small enough to make a difference, "not big pharma," bright future. The pay is certainly reasonable.
Cons
In reality, the company is terrible to work out. No pharmas today have particularly good work-life balances but Otsuka's is by far the worst. Consider this carefully before joining them. In addition, there is a constant turnover of employees and leadership and the company has lost sight of its bright future. Expect long hours, little appreciation and eventually, being spit out.
