Pros
Decent compensation and benefits (but that will only last until Abilify goes off patent protection in the US and also no stock options...)
Cons
A very unique and chaotic corporate family: corporate culture is the worse possible mix of Japanese and US culture. Pressure to perform due to the looming Abilify patent cliff. Inefficiencies are due to duplication, overlapping, and unclear roles and responsibilities because leadership is either not interested or not experienced in running complex R&D operations. Japan HQ is applying the GE corporate model to its US subsidiaries but this only results in more pressure to perform and does not solve structural/operational issues. People are expected to be accessible 24/7 and face-time is important hence expect limited work-life balance.
