Pros

Well located, less work and good training provided in the company.

Cons

It work like a resource provider to Japan. All having two managers in India and Japan. Japanese focks don't give the work and explain in roles in detail. Mostly people under occupied. Management wakes up when someone comes from Japan or Singapore and creates and event to impress them.

Pros

Free food. Nice people. No Japanese language proficiency required during recruitment (but.. see Cons).

Cons

Depending on the team - but mostly, very hierarchical and has very confusing roles and responsibilities. There's a language barrier - japanese is not required for some position but will limit potential improvements and growth (both team and individual). Will also introduce stress and anxiety for some. There's a lot of bosses and only few leaders.
