Pros: Free food. Nice people. No Japanese language proficiency required during recruitment (but... see Cons).

Cons: Depending on the team, but mostly very hierarchical and has very confusing roles and responsibilities. There's a language barrier. Japanese is not required for some positions, but it will limit potential improvements and growth (both team and individual). It will also introduce stress and anxiety for some. There are a lot of bosses and only few leaders.

Pros: Free lunch during Corona wave?

Cons: The CEO wants employees to come to the office right in the Corona third wave, and he claims to keep "employee health as top priority". That office has confirmed cases all the time. There is a serious internal culture of bragging. The shopping site is horrible, and a user can't even add an item to the cart during peak times. The mobile business is in chaos and treats customers like a joke, yet there is an internal RNN (inside propaganda) being "proud" all the time. Benefits are a joke. Employee stock options get you a few thousand yen of profit in a year if you sell right after buying every month and if you are lucky.

Pros: The current products generate well, cash flow is good. We are trying to find a new increasing point. Multi-culture is mixed with Japan's traditional business style.

Cons: Low efficiency and office politics do harm to the company. There should be strict regulations to control outsourcing and partnerships.
