Pros

WLB, you can use flex when you have ot. But it depends on the group, so be careful.

Cons

Low promotion and salary raise. Last time I was only raised 1% for my base, and I don't have expectations for my next evaluation even though 2 times for 1 year.

Pros

Great place to work if you want to live in Japan. People are great, but it mostly depends on the team. Lots of South Asians if you know what I mean.

Cons

There many levels of management that are just pressured by whoever is on top. The pressure trickles down to the actual workers.
