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
