Is this your company?

Good benefits and bonuses and oportunities to go to Japan, but reconsider if you value work/life balance. - Associate R&D Engineer Advanced World Solutions, Inc. Employee Review

Pros

1. Chance to work at Japan. This means a minimum extra money of $37 per day on Japan for allowance, with house and utility bills shouldered by the company. There are also many other employees assigned in different locations in Japan. This means that you can stay at their houses and also ask them to be your local guide if you plan to travel to different locatons in Japan. 2. Exposure to Nihongo. If you are motivated enough, the company has Native Japanese Teachers to help you. 3. Has a flexible time in system. You can negotiate with your manager the time you get in to the office. 4. Extra bonus of about $150 monthly for JLPT L2 passers and twice that for L1 passers.

Cons

1. If you happen to be assigned to a demanding Japanese client, expect the overtime to reach about an average of 60 to 80 hours per month. I am quite dissapointed at the management that few of them do anything about it. 2. Most of the employee's skills are subpar, which means other employees need to compensate in order to fulfill the ambitious promises made by the management to the client. 3. Most good employees get dissatisfied and left the company, therefore, only few senior employees can be counted on.

Pros

The company has a good training package for fresh graduates. For people interested in learning Japanese, this company is suited for you. The work environment is friendly and people have good relationships with each other. They have flexible time-in plan. Employees have opportunity to gain experience in different technologies and business domains depending on the project assignment.

Cons

Some hectic projects require employees to work on weekends. There are fairly a number of cases that requires employees to work overtime and overnight in order to meet deadlines due to incorrect estimation of work. Because of the project-based culture in the company, employees have limited chances of choosing the type of work, technology or domain that they want to focus on. To be able to acquire expertise on specific technical skills as well as business domain, one has to be in the right place at the right time in order to be included in the right project.
