Pros

Company has good work-life balance and respectable benefits. Engineering has good perks - trips to support product launches, etc.

Cons

Micro-management is rampant - part of the Japanese culture. Pay is below average. My colleagues who have left have received 20% or higher raises in areas with similar cost of living index scores. Company places artificial requirements (tenure) on job promotions, no matter how good performance reviews are.
