Pros
Good salaries, very stable, company is very skittish about laying of or terminating anyone and will go to great lengths to avoid it.
Cons
Promotions and wage/salary increases come very slowly - if you do not argue for a high rate/salary coming in it will take years to get to where you want to be. In some branches it can be extremely difficult to function and to understand office politics if you do not speak and understand Japanese; though the company has been in the U.S. for 50 years, Japanese is still the primary language spoken in the office in many branches.
