It was a wrong turn in life
It was a wrong turn in life
Nice location and reasonably good office.
Free breakfast and lunch once a week.
Friendly crowd in general.
No clue what the right thing to do there is.
Agile process they follow is a ruse.
There is a big brother team in Tokyo which shadows all decision making.
Very arrogant managers. Of course life is a party for them.
Quality is a funny word. Everything is about quantity.
Small team, low salary, overloaded with work.
I found it funny when they mentioned it as a competitor to Amazon.
