Pros: Great office building. Free and nutritional meals. A lot of amenities in the office that really sweeten the stay. English-speaking Japanese company in Japan - a rarity.

Cons: Management is only interested in pleasing the bosses. Bosses are only pleased in making the leaders happy. Leaders only want to make money, no matter what. This, in turn, creates a sick cycle of pushing pressure down to the "code monkeys," leaving them in a highly tense and unhappy environment. With Japanese management, transitioning to agile methodologies is such a climb, and rarely can you even get through them. They want results but are not willing to go through the process of carving out the best way to achieve that result. They say they're open to new technologies and methodologies, but really, it's all just that they want to get their cash faster, but don't understand that the birth pains and struggles a team needs to get through to be lean and agile are not that easy.

Pros: Good benefits for a Japanese company (bonus 2x/year, stock, free cafeteria). Good work-life balance. Overtime discouraged.

Cons: * Some teams are not English-friendly, even though there is supposedly an "Englishnization" initiative. * Not career growth-friendly. Prepare to be stuck in a role you don't like because your team is "too short-staffed."

Pros: 1. English-speaking environment. 2. Serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 3. Internal skill training. 4. Working with diverse people from many nations.

Cons: 1. Work-life balance. 2. Some management people are not so sober. 3. Typical standard leave policy (Started with 10 days/year). 4. Employee performance is measured in a relative way.
