Pros

Good renumeration package, that's all

Cons

Management is full of yes men who only want to please HQ and top management while disregarding the opinions of own staff. They rather have employees they can control like puppets. Upper management is full of grand ideas to grow business, but middle management only want to collect paychecks and bonuses, and are way too complacent in the brand name. Typical Japanese company with strict hierarchy, and this is not for everyone. As with this kind of company people who bootlick will have their careers prioritized over those who don't. Do expect a lot of "retiring snakes" who will do everything to hog limelight and shift blame at first opportunity. WFH is nonexistent, only when you get COVID then you get a few days at home. TL;DR: avoid like the plague if you genuinely want to grow your career

Pros

Its in a nice building

Cons

Insane lack of communication; left alone after 3 hours on my first day. Did the work they wanted but not fast enough and they had a backup waiting to take my place and were not coy or secretive about that whatsoever. Was told not to bring lunch my first day. So I didn't bring lunch my first day. They did not provide lunch on my first day. I went out and bought food and then came back and worked alone the rest of the day. My trainer had retired years prior from a different company and couldn't understand that a PDF could be opened more than one way. What a relief I did not stick around. Oh yeah and I got very sick when they called to lay me off, but they needed their stuff back. Do you think they sent a courier? Nah. I went in thd next day, still sick, and waited over 10 minutes until hopping the security gate because no one was there AND I WAS SICK. Yeah, shortly after I received my positive COVID results. Welp, that about sums up my short stint at this place. Legal dept was completely chaotic. Also the open floorplan was awful during covid.
