Slow progression with unclear career path and traditional working practices. Lack of the young punch as it is being leaded very conservatively in some depts.
The good things- Clean working environment given that the company still has a strong Japanese culture
- Employee's Welfare (Coverage on medical, dental)
- Provides learning exposure experience on the market in a global reach for some, it depends on your role as chances are very limited
The challenges- Mass GenX (mid1960s-early1980s) in the management roles with very traditional working practices
- Excessive workload, role description unaligned with compensation received
- Lack of direction planning from managers on the career path for the members, slow progression
- Feedback, voices are often neglected
