Pros

Benefits, compensation, work life balance, opportunities to excel. Autonomy of the US unit from Japanese HQ, while still supported fiscally and organizationally. Good product pipeline in a tough industry.

Lack of mature business processes, some - but not most - leaders either need to move on because they are out of date or came up through ranks and don't have necessary skills. Risk of impact from increased governmental regulation and/or universal healthcare.
