Pros

Remote working, nice offices, big name

Cons

Im not sure about the Japanese side of the buisness but ive always wanted to work for this company and was a dream come true when i got a job here. However 18 months in and it ended up being a nightmare and id never want to work there ever again. I worked in the london offices and there is too much politics and drama. No career progression and stale salary. I also felt trapped and discluded and without a voice. Unfortunately, Im glad im no longer part of this company.

Pros

Free food and drinks available often Free games and other goodies around releases and events Most people are friendly and easy/fun to work with/be around Annual bonus

Cons

Japan is stuck in the past and refuses to adapt or accept what gamers/NA coworkers actually need/want Customer Service has been outsourced to save costs but you get what you pay for Projects that would actually win the market have been cancelled consecutively to make room for slop Almost impossible to move up since there's no budget and practically zero opportunity
