Pros

As an American company, compensation is not as stingy as Japanese corporations.

Cons

Work culture is cliquish. Depending if you’re able to fit in (by fitting in it means being able to engage in gossip with the crowd), you might be able to withstand the culture.

Not suitable for non-pharmaceutical related positions

Pros

you get a nice fancy title that you work at a global pharmaceutical company.

Cons

I joined with expectation that you would be exposed to, and learn about, a pharmaceutical corporation world. If your position is non-pharmaceutical (e.g. admin), however, HR doesn't help, severe micromanagement within the team and no recognition or respect for your hard works.
