Otsuka reviews

The employee to contractor ratio is ridiculous. Things are good for employees because contractors get the brunt of it. This is the flip side of a strong, Japanese commitment to employees: there aren't many employees and that commitment doesn't extend to contractors. The MSPs are the true bulk of the work force. The DEI meetings get a little aggressive with the "white people are the problem" messages sometimes, but I haven't noticed it affecting actual office relationships any.

Hectic, noisy work environment makes it difficult to focus. You must be at the director level to have a cubicle. Poorly defined roles and responsibilities make it difficult to assign accountability and identify expertise. Most employees’ workload leaves them spread too thin to do any one thing well or implement meaningful changes that would improve processes. Poor onboarding process frequently leaves employees to their own devices.
