Pros

Modern office with a lounge area Convenient location in Shinjuku

Cons

- Weird and strict rules such as being forbidden to speak English with other foreign employees, or having to ask permission to your manager before eating lunch with your colleagues - They will make you conform to their company culture, even if they have to break your soul and spirit to do it. The COO yells at crying employees. - If you can go through a couple years of abuse to become an "autonomous employee" then you might finally get treated better but you will probably be expected to do the same to the new recruits as a 'mentor'. - Pay is low, and the bonus were extremely low too. Much lower than the Japanese standard. - They use a loophole to make you work for free 30 minutes everyday between the end of the official time and the start of overtime, which is almost required to do everyday for one hour minimum. - They hate the phrase work/life balance. - If you join as a new graduate, they will assign your job and your department without taking your wish into consideration.
