Pros

Very good place for a fresh graduate student to grow into a true researcher/engineer. Decent access to academic resources, plus plenty of internal technical resources. Quite international style, no longer a typical japanese company. Lots of clubs and social activities.

Cons

Very limited communications with academia, especially for young researchers. Be really patient for promotions... Not speaking Japanese will be a great drawback.
