Pros

At least the tech stack is up-to-date

Cons

Don't get fooled by other reviews telling you they have a healthy life, but timelines are harsh? I'll list all facts and make your own decision about coming here or not. 1. Awful WLB. ppl will ping you 24/7. Doesn't matter it's day or night, you will find random ppl ping you at a random time. 2. Stupid evaluation system. Be ready to get dumped into the lowest rank, which will get you a pay cut. Ppl get blamed for a fault that's not their responsibility. 3. No sick day 4. Even the laptops are second-handed... 5. Company spent tons of money doing campaigns(throwing billions of dollars to make the customers happy), yet they are hesitant to raise ppl's pay and give out a decent bonus. 6. Ridiculous timeline that could barely have you deliver with quality and you have to work overtime to compensate, and that's what I did. Can't tolerate low-quality output. 7. prepare for a wave of office politics 8. WARNING: Absolutely no career path here. Be super careful if you value your career development

Pros

Good salary for Japan, I guess? Nice offices but useless in the pandemic.

Cons

During the interviews, they don't really call it "waterfall" but they do work that way. Departments are completely siloed, resulting in many people working on the same project without even knowing it. Managers have inflated egos because they've "been here since day 1". I see no career progression at all, who's going to hire me after this role? They either want glorified technical PROJECT managers, usually ex-engineers, or business/marketing oriented product managers to look at the roadmap.
