Pros

Company brand is big, one of the major US CRO brand so lots of Japanese company comes for initially.

Cons

Japan branch is purely there for "cash in". Demand comes from USHQ and Singapore office and have really no power to even communicate between those offices. Lots of talented people got hired with very unique qualification but no matter how clever you are, if your boss doesn't like you, you will get harrassed greatly and eventually foce to quit work.

Pros

Great company culture, excellent team support, fantastic management at all levels. I especially value the training initiatives that help in the day to day. This is a great place to build skills, especially in AI. Work life balance is emphasized and encouraged.

Cons

It can feel a bit like being a cog in the wheel at times, although good ideas do get the attention of management. Workload can be unrelenting around EOQ. Process "improvement" initiatives are constant, poorly announced, and often make things worse. Raises and bonuses are meager and do not keep up with inflation/market value.
