Pros

- very talented, capable people - tasks are challenging, good place to learn for a short time

Cons

- Terrible micromanagement - people are overworked; the Japanese work culture requires you to stay in the office longer than that is usual in the American work culture - everybody keeps a lot of distance, people don't usually talk to each other; they go to the office, work and go home; period - compensation varies widely based on who is the closest to the management - management has the technical abilities to lead, however completely lacks people management skills - no career opportunities; career development completely depends on friendship with the management - the HR is incompetent Avoid at all cost.
