Pros

1. Good location like omotesando. 2. Lot of work from home. 3. Incentives like hardware/software 4. Good Support for Japanese learning 5. Many events like a university. 6. Employee value ( apart from pay )

Cons

1. If you compare with market, it might on lower pay scale, especially people I have seen in global team. team leads are getting paid less than the software engineers in other companies. 2. Don't confuse with 2 month bonus thing, they give salary / 14 months.. so don't get confused, that's actually less monthly salary in hand.

Can be overly cautious when introducing risky changes Tends to spend extra time on validation and phased rollouts, which may slow down experimentation in low-risk areas.

Pros

The company has several products, the office is in Shibuya Sakura Stage, and some members have good technical experience to learn from.

Cons

Not an innovative or challenging environment, the salary is very low, flexibility is very difficult, and the bureaucracy is very bad. Furthermore, there's a lot of office politics and employees don't get rewarded easily.
