Pros

Fairly easy to get in. Good public image. Free lunch. Nice desks.

Cons

Fairly easy to get in. Experience appears to be drastically different depending on a team.

Compared to overseas IT companies, office and office benefits are not great. No kitchen.

Floors packed-up with desks. There is no green in the office or relaxation space.

Vending machines offer a discount of about 20-30 yen. Coffeeshops and "conbini" (convenience stores) are full price.
