Pros

Good Company for Some, Bad for Most.

Good learning if you get a good team.

Lot of new technologies to learn if you get the right team or project.

Cons

Learning is limited to teams who work on those technologies.

Quite a large percentage of selfish people.

Japan's work culture is mentally tiring. It affects your health too.

Slog, slog, slog and still little appreciation because the end result was not 100% perfect. (Employees should be allowed to make mistakes and learn from them.)

Politics and favoritism exist in some teams.

Leave policies are very bad. All earned leaves are reset to 5 instead of being carried forward to the next year.

There are less or no extracurricular activities.

The remote teams make almost all decisions. Managers and employees in India just follow what the remote teams dictate.

Office is in Malleshwaram, which is like another planet for most people in the IT sector.

Advice to Management

Keep it simple. Please work on the above concerns.

India Management should empower themselves and not be powerless.
