Pros

Typical Japanese culture. Competitive working environment among smart colleagues

Cons

Unfortunately hiding, lying and ignoring the truth is a fundamental company culture of Japan. People just see what they want to see. The management just want to know what they want to know.

Pros

Great manager, hybrid work, flexibly if you work hard, good benefits, lots of growth. The culture is fantastic.

Cons

Lot of restructuring, needs a directory of who manages what, titles are vague and don't reflect what you actually do but everyone is super nice.

Pros

People tend to help one another

Cons

Pay is terrible compared to industry standards, no bonus/stock option, and upper management has been micro-managing the department for over a year as of 2025.
