Pros
- Good for finding the next job since it is a highly valued company in Japan. - The network you can build up (however, high potential people leave the company fast) - Free lunch
Kontras
- No career development at all! (Assignment is random, no logical explanation for decisions) - Incapable mid-management (people that got in during the extreme growth fail to take it to the next level) - First 40 hours of overtime are not paid. - Useless (morning) meetings. - KPI makes people blind (majority is focused on own KPI, nobody cares about the sustainability of the brand or any other long term goals) - Terrible bonus (its getting lower every 6 months) - English is NOT the corporate language... unfortunately.. everything is still in Japanese. - Bad pay (salary will not increase, absurd high KPI`s feels like an easy trick to cut labor costs) - Paradoxical in-house brand concept.
