Fun place to work, good people, unstable

Pros

It was a good experience. The pay was competitive for my position and the raises were decent, and better those at other companies. The paid time off and benefits were very competitive as well. The work environment was good and the people were awesome. I actually enjoyed coming to work.

Cons

Major organizational problems. It seemed like nothing ever worked the way it was supposed to. Very unstable, the company would hire on hundreds one year and lay off hundreds the next. I felt like they were always following industry trends instead of starting new ones.

Pros

Access to research resources seem good, not a very traditional Japanese company (ie. you have more freedom to do what you want within a project.)

Cons

Some internal supervision is poor. Got hired and thrown at a job on your own. It can be a bit of a frightening experience if you're not used to it. Seems somewhat characteristic of Japan however. Communication within the company is so-so, it's also fairly easy to talk about ideas but I don't find much people acting on something unless the orders come from higher up.
