Pros
Drivemode is a startup company with a startup culture, backed by Honda, making it one of the most financially secure startups in Tokyo. * The company is truly engineering-driven, offering real engineering challenges with proprietary hardware. * The engineering team has a low turnover rate. I can't recall the last farewell, as it's quite challenging to find better opportunities in Tokyo. * The design team knows programming, making communication straightforward and efficient. * You'll work on a product with global impact and have the opportunity to contribute to any aspect of it. Simply have a quick huddle with the right person. * Hybrid and flexible work arrangements are available. (depends*) * Enjoy complimentary drinks and snacks. You can request almost anything.
Cons
Not many, to be honest. * We've done an amazing job in the past, so Honda is placing a higher bet on us with even greater expectations. * The compensation is above market rates, although it's somewhat lower compared to the other "similar" company. * The new office in Tennozu is a bit remote from the city center. However, it's spacious and will offer numerous amenities!
