      Google Tokyo

      Pros

      Smart people everywhere. Work in Tokyo, but without the bureaucracy of a typical Japanese company (no timecards! no fax machines!). Salary very high for a Tokyo-based job. Work at a Google, but without all the commuting of the main HQ. Make things people actually use.

      Cons

      Smart people everywhere. Getting overcrowded. Perks, kitchens are worse than in other Googles. Office essentially segregates the engineers from the non-engineers (different floors), gives it a weird feeling. Harder to get promoted higher than senior in a non-MTV office.

      Pros

      Fantastic benefits. A culture that motivates a strong work ethic. Access to some of the worlds best leaders in areas of machine learning and large scale data algorithms.

      Cons

      Not as much freedom to innovate as one might expect. The quarterly review cycle tends to throw out the idea of trying for a longer term vision.
