      Pros

      Working as a liaison between business and engineering team will give you an excellent opportunity to grow fast.

      Cons

      There are lots of politics around decision-making process. Also, almost everything is being decided base on top-down approach.

      Pros

      Free something everyday of the week including food, drinks. snacks. Only place I worked that has a bar. Most people are friendly, politics and favoritism was much less compared to other places I have worked. Growing company with a grand vision.

      Cons

      Nothing that comes to mind unless you get stuck with a bad boss.

      Not the worst but certainly not the best

      Pros

      Used to hire a lot of foreigners, even for the Japanese office - interesting people from all over. Offers training if you are hired as a new grad, so you can pick up some very useful skills if you get assigned to the right department.

      Cons

      Atmosphere tends to depend on the department and team you are assigned to, but for the most part, very Japanese and top-down despite the global PR. Most senior employees are still struggling with English and not very understanding of where international hires are coming from.
