Pros: Professional development. All benefits were awesome.

Cons: No cons as far as I could remember.

Pros: - Professional, dedicated coworkers and truly world-class talent. - The company's upper management is truly dedicating to changing the way business works in Japan. - Mikitani is a brilliant man who went to Harvard and truly understands how the business world works. - "Englishnization" has made a lot of progress in two years. - Free lunch. - Lots of opportunities for hard-working young people and foreigners. - Shinagawa is a beautiful part of Tokyo. I would not recommend this company to someone unless you are willing to work hard. Don't go in expecting a Western workplace, despite the recruitment promises.

Cons: - Many middle managers are supporting a broken status quo. - Work/life balance is typical of a Japanese company. - Partnered staff often speak no or very little English. - Bureaucratic processes and repetitive meetings need organizational rethinking and unification procedures. - The level of English is still far from where it needs to be. - The pay rate is well below market, but that's changing.

Pros: It's easy to get a job here.

Cons: Sometimes work-life balance is hard.
