Pros

Laid back culture. Not too bad for personal life time management. People are fairly generous with their time in regards to teaching.

Cons

Language barrier (extensive communication with Japan and Japanese expats). Salary not very competitive. Promotion structure not very transparent.

Pros

There are no pros to consider

Cons

In my experience, the work environment is negatively critical, and feedback often felt focused on mistakes rather than development. Upper management did not appear to encourage open and honest discussion, making it difficult to raise concerns or share ideas. Compensation seemed below market rates compared to similar roles in the industry. Over time, morale appeared to decline, and many employees became disengaged and less confident in their work. Several talented colleagues left during my time there, and turnover seemed consistently high.
