Pros

Nice office Free catered lunches every day Excellent health plan 401K vesting upto $2000 Nice colleagues

Cons

Poor leadership team. Political, nepotistic and inexperienced. US CEO has no understanding of technology or vision for business. Messy financials. Regular bailouts from Japan to stay afloat. Pretend to be a startup but behave like a really big company. Wear a cloak of values like "All for one", "Be professional", "Go bold" but its all corporate speak
