Pros

- location is central, office is modern - international exposure. International projects - good career opportunities (vertically and horizontally), but only if you know the right people - business outlook is good and company is stable - lots of learning opportunities in finance and new technologies - remote work 1/2 of the time - vacation days number is high for Japan

Cons

- discrimination in Japan office if you’re not Japanese or Asian (people ignoring you/ your questions and even avoiding to say hello), but on the Japan average - lot of politics, your career will depend only on the sponsor you have, not the efforts you put - hundreds of people leaving after the Toshiba acquisition by Carrier, causing disruption - There’s discontent on the company increasingly becoming Chinese as the entire APAC leadership is from China. - sometimes long hours with evening calls with US HQ - the right hand does not know what the left hand does; lot of people working on the same projects without knowing it. Most of the time spent on calls on aligning on data and processes/knowledge. - salary is lower than average

Pros

The company offers competitive pay and a strong benefits package, including a good 401(k), charitable donation matching, and other valuable benefits. Success here often comes to those who are willing to prioritize the company's demands and fully commit to its work culture.

Cons

The culture is one of the most toxic I have experienced. There is an expectation that employees are available around the clock, making work-life balance nearly impossible. Teams are routinely expected to absorb the responsibilities of multiple positions while resources continue to shrink and bonuses become less rewarding. Leadership often relies on fear and pressure rather than inspiration. Instead of creating optimism and empowering employees, messaging frequently centers on competition, missed expectations, and what the company is doing wrong. That tone cascades throughout the organization and creates an environment where people are afraid to speak up or take risks. In my experience, concerns about leadership behavior and workplace culture did not appear to be addressed in a meaningful way. This left many employees feeling unsupported and contributed to low morale, high turnover, and burnout.
