Pros

1. They will offer you a better compensation than your previous job. 2. They will send you abroad (if you like).

Cons

1. They will layoff you as they want without severance packages. 2. The senior people and management may use power abuse as they like. 3. The hirearchy is very strong in the Japan office. Most companies in Japan are trying to get rid of this culture, but not Aixtron for sure. 4. Some colleagues may embarrass you in front of the customers for any mistake.

Cons

Toxic environment where staff stay because pays reasonable. Too many "old" long serving staff that aren't open to new , modern ideas because "we have always done it like that"
