Pros

Less attrition - Japanese culture doesn't allow for frequent attrition.

Cons

Poor Management - Some of the senior managers are very arrogant. Some are dictators. Some really think they are the GOD. Employee's opinions hardly matter to them. This is not a place to work if culture is of prime importance to you. HR Policies - It sucks a lot. Perks - The products are given at a discounted price after the MRP is increased by a significant margin. Salary - Below the industry standards. There is no big difference in pay between an average performer and a high performer.

Pros

Very nice, friendly people to work with if you are lucky.

Cons

There are good projects and there are bad projects. If you're not getting along well with the managers, you get assigned to bad projects.
