Pros

One good aspect of working in Japan was an opportunity to collaborate with the overseas plant to propose and develop a product that fits into customer needs.

Cons

- Manager has no intent in functioning as a team. - Manager has no interest in his team members so they are left to dry - Manager not explaining to the members the purpose of his decisions - Manager clearly stating to member that he cannot trust the work output - No pure means of engineering. Primary job is translating documents and messages.
