Pros

the location is good and you can meet great colleagues

Cons

-unfair treatment of non Japanese employees & favouritism of Japanese ones -threats of demotion/dismissal in case of time-off due to certified health problems -unreasonable demands for unpaid overtime work even though this is NOT stated in your contract -total indifference towards employees ideas or concerns -no transparence, clear path of career progression In short the so called KYOSEI is nothing but a fancy word to cover their main corporate philosophy: money over everything
