Pros

- Flexible timing - None other than that

Cons

- Managers are useless,they wont do anything other than having meeting with higher management and updating their task tickets - Some(Most of them) manager cant communicate in english and will show interest towards you if you cannot speak japanese - Manager dont even invite you team meeting and add you to your team group(at least in my case) - Most of the time you are forced to use google translator because you can't communicate with your manager(also pros, because atleast you are having one-on-one meeting with manager) - Because their so called product HUE failed, now you are forced to work on old product COMPANY, which is using old technologies. for example java 5 and who the heck use pascal these days, and now they are using google drive to share codes not GIT - No salary increment - Most japanese makes fun of foreigner

Managers are ruining the product.

Pros

1. If you want to be a shoelicker and get promoted, this is the best workplace for you.

Cons

1. Just read through the previous reviews, most of the positive reviews are written by managers. You know why, i will tell ya. Reason : 1. No work other than updating tickets. Lot of work man, really. 2. Get promoted if you are a shoelicker. 3. They just take orders and do not have any input of their own. 4. They might be a good engineer but they are not good as a manager and so as their product. 5. They come in morning, one window they have slack and other has whatsapp, and then they keep posting message, @here update tickets. 6. They encourage team to merge buggy code and then create 100s of patch tickets, which resulted into failure of so many products. 7. Evaluation is only about how much buttering you do. People don't even know their tech well and now they are manager and ruining the product. 8. In short, managers know they are bad at their work, but they are getting really high pay compared to their contribution.

Pros

My managers and colleagues were absolutely wonderful and the starting salary was excellent. Great place for people who are willing to roll up their sleeves and dig into problem solving. There are many opportunities for people who want to challenge themselves, even if you are a fresh graduate.

Cons

Needs to bring in more people who can bridge the Japan (HQ)/overseas gap and the upper management/new hire gap.
