      Good Company for Some, Bad for Most.

      Pros

      Good Company for Some, Bad for Most. Good Learning if you get a Good Team. Lot of new technologies to learn if you get the right team or Project.

      Cons

      Learning is limited to teams who work on those technologies. Quite a large percentage of selfish people. Japan work culture is mentally tiring. It affects your health too. Slog,Slog,Slog and still little appreciation, because the end Result was not 100% perfect. ( Should allow employee to make mistakes and learn from mistakes) Politics and favourism in Some Teams. Leave Policies are very Bad. Especially All the earned leaves will be Reset to 5. instead of being carried forward to next Year. Less or No Extra Curricular activities. The Remote Teams make almost all the decisions. The Managers and employees in India just follow what the remote teams dictates. Office is in Malleshwaram, which is like another planet for most people in I.T sector.
