Pros

The product is excellent, the free lunch is a nice perk, and the office is comfortable. The sales methodology is well-structured, and there are plenty of internal resources and documentation to help you get up to speed.

Cons

In Japan, there are very few leads from partners or marketing, and reps are constantly competing over accounts. While everyone works hard to hit their targets, the average tenure is short, and the overall sales approach doesn’t feel sustainable or healthy.
