Pros: In Japan Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner served in the Tokyo office; lunch in branch offices. Not as overtime-happy as other Japanese companies. Easy to relocate or change positions. Social status with a business card, only in Japan. Japanese insurance laws, e.g., up to 1 year paid leave for childbirth regardless of gender. Extremely high job security. You can only be fired if you do something really, really bad, like steal millions of dollars from the company or murder somebody.

Cons: Archaic corporate culture. Legal minimum vacation days, no sick days. Zero engineering career development: go managerial or go nowhere. Strict corporate ladder that values time served far more than individual capabilities. Salary so low prospective hires actually think you're joking when you tell them. Very weak hiring process: some of the most incompetent engineers I have ever seen in my life. Absurdly strict working times feels like elementary school. Worth as a person and employee determined entirely by arbitrary set of core values written by the CEO 20 years ago. Extremely cult-like culture worshipping CEO. Extremely high turnover rate (for foreigners only).

Pros: 1. Nice tech stack 2. Good work culture 3. Food

Cons: I am happy with my job.

Pros: Great Team * Free breakfast and lunch, cheap dinner * Challenging tasks (no "stupid" intern tasks) * Healthy company culture * No overtime * Smart colleagues, there is a lot to learn there

Cons: Really big, open-space office (one floor for the whole department). Team structure and process were not clear from the start.
