Pros

There are some good people there and nothing else

Cons

Too many expats that have no idea what to do there. Many of them only know about Excel and poor english. Many expats, managers think they are God. Low Salary compared with UK market. No salary review. Horrible bonus. Bullying culture from some managers, expats and local Japanese staff. Managers responsible for their people don’t care about you but expats only. Some Japanese staff/expats don’t respect the people. They start yelling to you for nothing. They expect that you do overtime everyday. No inclusive culture.

Pros

Paid on time Mostly Japanese managers with Japanese spoken in the office and written in emails. American and Japanese work culture combined.

Cons

Co-workers will attempt to sabotage you with a smile on. Low technically skilled colleagues, High Tech Debt. Very poor documentation which is used as job security by most of the local seniors. Japanese culture of voluntary overtime combined with American Layoff culture yield a truly awful work life balance, high stress and very low job security. Large amount of visa work holders. Usually titled as Senior Managers that will only stay for a short time. If they mess up its ok because they will go back to JPN and not deal with these clients again. They suffer no repercussions for poor work, usually having poor English and average Technical skills. They get to learn with your livelyhood and job security at risk. These will be the decision makers for projects and when things go wrong the non-Jpnese workers will be marked.
