Pros

Pay and PTO is decent

Cons

Mediocre incompetent workforce who do not want to accomplish anything but just collect paychecks. Management lacks vision as where to take the company. Morale is really low due to no FDA disapproving their first product launch in the USA. Employee retention is super low. Nobody wants to work there. HR is useless. Every competent employee leaves only after few months. Zero growth opportunity as only the Japanese ExPats are in higher level management. Bunches of paper pushers. Zero sense of urgency to get anything done. Senior leaders are not capable of making any decisions. Marketing leaders have zero commitment for the company. There is unbalance of what some people get paid and can spend on travel etc. Awful place to work, and if you are honest, competent employee, who enjoys to get the job done, you are considered aggressive and get pushed out.
