Pros

A Japanese company with a lot of foreign employees. English is the official language. An open environment with free meals, a cafe, and a gym in the company that can see Mt. Fuji. A lot of global businesses; the company is also very famous in Japan.

Cons

Sometimes heavy overtime work is needed, depending on team culture and manager.

Food in the cafeteria is not that good.

There are quite a lot of meetings.

Advice to Management

Sometimes Japanese is still necessary in many situations.

Try to understand the company culture; it's very important in evaluation.
