Pros: A lot of challenges exist. Free meals are provided for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Cons: Top-down culture. Too many working hours.

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.

Pros: No overtime (at least for the departments I worked for). Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner (reasonable quality but not so good).

Cons: You will not be promoted within the first 12 months (no matter how good you are). Way too many projects are outsourced, so employees often have nothing to work on. In some departments, not knowing Japanese will be a big issue (even though the official language is English). Terrible evaluation system, which is not based on your achievements and technical skills as an engineer. Engineers and non-engineers get paid the same amount based on the grade in the company. Salary increases are too low when your grade increases. As a foreigner, I was treated horribly by Japanese managers.
