Pros

- Easy walk from London Bridge street - Nice view over the River Thames from the office - Riverside walk available

Cons

- Sojitz is a combined company of Nissho and Nichimen, people hate each other in the office and it is very uncomfortable for the new comer...you'll be questioned, "Are you Nissho side, or Nichimen side?" - Expats get together all the time and local staffs are isolated - Very very Japanese company and British employee feels isolated - One expat disappeared without notice as he had a bad homesick, strange....

Pros

Flex with daily arrival/departure times.

Cons

Unreasonable RTO- 5 days a week with no consideration for time or cost to employees. Pay is very low. Benefits are the bare minimum--it takes 5 years to earn 100% of employer 401(k) match. Blatant FAVORITISM toward expatriate staff and even more blatant EXCLUSION of all other staff. Fake Paid Maternity Leave - they pay only after state benefits and disability payments. No appreciation/recognition for development; "claw back" on education contributions if you leave so they hold you hostage. Company events are biased and prejudice--they only honor Asian and Hispanic events. but do not honor Black History Month, Women's History Month etc. and in very poor taste. No chance for growth/development/advancement.
