Company works with some interesting clients. Big and Small. The CEO is extremely accessible and easy to talk to.

Cons

Depending on the location, the office can be a great place to work or a terrible place. Japan is one of the latter.

Business Outlook

Pros

A good solid company with the backing of a large parent company. Good, knowledgeable employees and "can do" attitude throughout the company. Some good strides are being made to support more global systems.

Cons

Too many silos and cost center competition has led to a number of regional and local internal and external IT solutions, often duplicating each other in functionality and not global in nature.
