Pros

Equal opportunities even for women. Easy to get maternity leave and returning is welcomed. Good salary overall comparing to other Japanese electrical companies. Good name value even in foreign countries Good circumstances to discuss and suggest to bosses.

Cons

Many inefficient older employees, who entered especially during "bubble period". There is "expert system" which company doesn't pay overtime working wage but accept flex-time work. However, HR is counting the employee who comes after 9:30am and warn no promotion or penalty if we can't come to office before 9:30am. This is not written rule and for the mas-media, company is showing we have flex-time work. Basically HR is not helpful at all even if we have troubles or ask anything.
