Cons

• Out of date employee review system • No process in place between departments. i.e. marketing, creative, and procurement don't have proper process in place. as result, employees are forced to do many different tasks and often overworked • Poor overall HR system and HR management • Poor Procurement department • No creative operations department in place • No copywriting department in place • Many higher up executives are extremely stressed and as result stress out their teams • There has been instances where employees were treated in an unfair and disrespectful manner • There has been instances where employees have faced racism – especially from HQ partners in Tokyo • There is good PTO for the year but it is very hard to get PTO requests approved, as result employees lose +10 PTO days/year • Many managers don't seem to be in the right place or lack basic knowledge or skillsets required for their positions, even at the VP level

Pros

Collaborative team at the IC level Nice product perks and gratis Decent long-term stable company

Cons

Mid-level management feels stifled by ED and VPs who've been there for 10+ years without change and don't use modern leadership technique or philosophy. Unwilling to change their antiquated ways despite asks from Executives to modernize. Unclear leadership directives.
