Pros

Opportunity to gain hands-on experience in both marketing and public relations within a globally recognized media brand Deep understanding of how the media business operates, including content strategy, audience engagement, and revenue models Exposure to high-impact industries such as fashion, entertainment, and culture, with access to premium brand ecosystems The company has shown relatively strong agility in adapting to digital transformation compared to traditional media organizations

Cons

The Japan branch lacks strong and consistent leadership, which can sometimes lead to unclear direction and slower decision-making Organizational structure can feel hierarchical, with limited upward mobility in certain roles Some long-tenured employees (e.g., editors staying for decades) may contribute to a lack of diversity in perspectives and slower organizational change Perceived imbalance in equality across positions, with differences in influence and opportunity depending on role and tenure

Pros

I really don’t have anything to highlight here

Cons

The company’s leadership culture is deeply concerning. There appears to be a pattern of behavior where poor treatment of employees is normalized, and at times even worn as a point of pride. This creates an unhealthy and demoralizing work environment. A consistent lack of integrity and emotional intelligence among leadership makes it difficult to build trust or feel supported. Decisions often come across as self-serving, with little regard for employee well-being or perspective. Overall, the leadership approach feels disconnected, lacking empathy, and undermines both morale and long-term organizational success.
