Pros

Very open-minded people. (Depending on your team, if they are foreigners, you will have a great time. If they are traditional Japanese, you might have a hard time here.) You can try new things and make your presence felt.

Cons

Average compensation.

Middle-level management is not that strong. The CEO is visionary.

Attrition rate of good developers is high.

Advice to Management

Don't be only money/revenue driven. Be tech driven as well.
