Pros

There are some good people there and nothing else

Cons

Too many expats that have no idea what to do there. Many of them only know about Excel and poor english. Many expats, managers think they are God. Low Salary compared with UK market. No salary review. Horrible bonus. Bullying culture from some managers, expats and local Japanese staff. Managers responsible for their people don’t care about you but expats only. Some Japanese staff/expats don’t respect the people. They start yelling to you for nothing. They expect that you do overtime everyday. No inclusive culture.

Pros

Good work-life balance Company cover commuting costs

Cons

Harassment and workplace bullying of junior staff by senior staff, No flexibility when you have problems at work, Low salary & bonus and no hope for a pay rise & promotion Most of senior managers are expats and some of them don't speak English well enough to discuss matters with the non Japanese staff, Some expats work hard for their reputation rather than being considerate to other staff, Company doesn't put enough effort to motivate employees and doesn't care about employees's wellbeing.
