      Pros

      I loved the casual environment. Everyone is pretty much self motivating. Open bar on Thursdays. Great central location in the city. Very tight-knit community among coworkers

      Cons

      As an intern it's seemed fairly hard to find order; people come in and leave at different times so it's hard to get what you need from everyone.

      A japanese business company with international "mask"

      Pros

      Free lunch. Free dinner (if you want to stay 1.5 hrs more in office) people from various countries chance to speak english in tokyo if you are lucky

      Cons

      Don't think that you would work in a company like google or facebook, Its just a Japanese style company hiring lots of foreigners regardless their skills/abilities Basically most people with decent resume leave in 1 or 2 years. The way they hire engineer is very random and people with good background leave quite soon, sometimes you can meet great engineer to learn from him but please always get prepared that he would leave soon. technical environment is not very professional and the engineer quality is far behind those top companies in Asia/US Lots of rules, especially you need to attend a company-wide and business-style meeting before 7:57 every Tuesday, which you won't have chance to attend in any top companies across the globe.
