Pros

I work at the Tokyo location, and it’s been the experience of a life time. I could make more money elsewhere, but I love the team and the mission is so unique. It’s so special to do what I love (spacecraft engineering) abroad in such a beautiful city. Also, for anyone worried about applying to the Tokyo branch, you don’t need to know any Japanese at all! The entire company speaks and works in English.

Cons

It does require moving to Tokyo, and Japan isn’t for everyone. The language is tricky and day-to-day life can be a challenge if you aren’t prepared.

Pros

Unmatched PTO at any US company for all staff. 15 holidays, +2 floating, 18 vacation days, 6 sick days. Excellent compensation, plus moderate 401k match. Many great, intelligent engineers at a peer level, though many were recently let go.

Cons

Leadership has no idea what they are doing or how to achieve anything. They do not listen to bottom up feedback nor do they seem to think more than a few weeks ahead. There is a severe lack of vision, and even when there is a vision there is no one capable to of defining a realistic path to that vision. There is exactly one person above the team lead level that has a plan and can execute on it. This leads to unrealistic timelines, poor technical decisions (because engineers are ignored), and very high attrition. This office will soon be a business office only if things don't change.
