Ok but do not expect work life balance.

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work from home and great co-workers

Cons

Since the merger and coupled with COVID, the company focuses on reducing cost at the loss of valuable employees. There is too much upper management involvement and no work life balance. Many nights and vacations are spent working. The company requested employees voluntarily work less hours or take furloughs due to their financial position and they removed 401k match. Health insurance is expensive and they have a “use it or lose it” policy for PTO. There are no sick days.

Pros

Quick hiring process, thorough introduction to company/industry, nice facilities (though remote working due to COVID).

Cons

As a newcomer, unfeasible workload with no or little guidance. Not paid enough for workload they expect out of you. No opportunity for upward mobility, though your workload will suggest otherwise...

Pros

Shinagawa office is new. The office has a pantry and we can drink free coffee for break time. CRA can take a lot of experiences.

Cons

There is always a lack of CRA. There are insufficient personnel and system to provide guidance for inexperienced person.
