Pros

Relatively good pay out of school some products are cool.

Cons

Essentially all the negatives of typical Japanese work culture. Expect everyone to work as hard as a salesman and bonus was significantly and consistently below the expected payout regardless of performance. Perfection is the expectation- mistakes are weighted very negatively against you compared with the positive weight of things done well. No real upward mobility- only reserved for sales. Only internal hires/college graduates so employees don't question treatment.
