Pros

Compressed work week with 12 hours shifts.

Cons

This company treats females as second class citizens. They also have a high level employee at the Hillsboro Oregon location that is a bully and if you don't do exactly as he expects, you will be fired. This was brought to the attention of the company attorney and highest level executive and yet nothing is done.

Pros

They offer stable job security for their Japanese personnel but might not apply to foreigners

Cons

1-Company is very traditional Japanese and does not welcome foreigners as decision makers, there is huge tendency in middle range management to keep the statuesque. 2-Promotions are mostly based on age and being able to talk Sumitomo language not your performance 3-There has been plenty of mental harassment cases, just because the boss can do what he wants here without being questioned in reality.
