Pros

+ Open-type office structure makes the interaction between colleagues active + Open, honest and clear goals to achieve in each responsibility + Interdepartmental/intercontinental changes are promoted + Both salaries and ranks are being modified according to your performance so you are awarded well if you perform well

Cons

- Hierarchy is important since it is a Japanese company - Bureaucracy is relatively slow when it comes to following the procedures - Still under heavy influence of Japan HQ from daily sales administration to top-level management - Better to keep an eye on work/life balance

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.
