Pros

- Easy walk from London Bridge street - Nice view over the River Thames from the office - Riverside walk available

Cons

- Sojitz is a combined company of Nissho and Nichimen, people hate each other in the office and it is very uncomfortable for the new comer...you'll be questioned, "Are you Nissho side, or Nichimen side?" - Expats get together all the time and local staffs are isolated - Very very Japanese company and British employee feels isolated - One expat disappeared without notice as he had a bad homesick, strange....

Pros

Lifetime Employment Free Japanese Lessons Good Benefits Well respected as a major trading house in Japan short-term overseas assignment at 2-4 years

Cons

some departments are still conservative Unclear career path long-term overseas assignment takes 5-10 years Major trading house means you could possibly be assigned to any sales / corporate teams in any industry. If you have specific industry you want / don't want to be in, this is not good for you.
