Pros

Work life balance/salaries- the business is diversified well in entertainment.

Cons

Japanese companies are strict and are LOYAL. Some do not feel that there is upward mobility or incentive to aspire to be management. The staff was complacent. The culture there was rude, cut throat for I don't know whatever reason, there was A LOT of junk. I had to hear one manager BEHIND CLOSED DOORS whine about the staff elsewhere in the world. He was not professional enough to let subordinates do their own jobs.

Pros

Still produces some cool products (although not best price/quality in the market) The DNA of the company used to be very good, although it has lost in terms of its culture of respect and honour that has protected the brand for many years

Cons

Middle management is full of career makers without any concern for the company interests Top management has no clue about the products or services (after Morita-san died) Mushroom shaped and disfunctional organization - it is impossible to restructure it, specially in Japan Re-structuring attempts in Europe are run by amateurs trying to implement harakiri solutions
