Pros

Business medium is English.

Good HR team who help foreigners with any help required in Japan.

The service idea is good for Japan and is getting popular in the market.

Some of the best talents to collaborate and work with.

Cons

Everyone seems to have their own agenda and is playing their own power game, with the CEO being absent from the picture.

The product, design, and engineering teams are not in sync, and there seems to be a cold war between them, which has caused good and talented people to leave.

There is no clear career path for growth, but every department has obscure C levels, new VPs, and Leads.

If you are looking for motivation, bonuses, stock options (only for the cream layer employees), and promotions, this may not be the best place for you, as inclusivity seems lacking.

It is also worth noting that even if you have contributed beyond expectations, you may still receive a consecutive below-average performance rating without any explanation.

However, following your skip-level manager and not questioning their decisions makes you more likely to survive.

Advice to Management

Please work towards the same goal and in harmony. Avoid politics.
