      Pros

      Worked in Singapore subsidiary for few years. People are in general diligent and cooperative. Good learning environment to hone your engineering skill.

      Cons

      Very limited opportunity to pursue one's carrier in the company from certain point if he/she's non-Japanese. Managerial position of Singapore operations are all occupied by the staffs from parent company in Japan. Company do offer an opportunity for Singapore staffs to be transfered to the parent company, but native proficiency in Japanese is a prerequisite to apply for the program.

      Pros

      Job stability- They do not hire and fire at whim. Great work ethics- Very ethical practice, rooted in rich values Japanese- For people who like Japanese culture

      Cons

      Japanese Language- You will be surrounded by Japanese language on a day to day basis. Can be a hurdle if you do not speak it. Tradition & Pyramidal- Very hierarchical organization. My boss was progressive and open. Other teams were not.
