      Vantaggi

      - As the other reviews have mentioned, you'll be surrounded by really intelligent, outgoing, and hardworking engineers/researchers that get things done - Work hours are very flexible, as long as you work within the core hours and average 8 hours per day, you can come and go as you please - Great learning environment. I learned a lot from my mentor (who is one of the best mentors I've had) and from my colleagues. A lot of the engineers/researchers are quite passionate in what they do and are more than happy to teach what they know. - Everyone speaks English in the company which is convenient, but I'd encourage you to learn some Japanese even though you'll be fine with just speaking English - Oh and did I mention they have really cool toys like robotic arms

      Svantaggi

      - There's definitely plenty of things that the company could improve on as mentioned by the other reviews, however, they've been putting in a lot of effort into addressing these problems to make their employees much happier.

      Vantaggi

      - I am re-adding my previous review with edits and marking outlook as positive since the company realized the management problem and actively (albeit bit slowly) making changes to improve on things - Great technical staff, smart and enthusiastic people who are willing to go the extra mile to make things happen. - Flexibility to work on different areas and learn new technologies. - Lots of cool hardware to work/play with, hi-tech approach in development and research. - Chance to work on technologies that potentially will have great effect on a whole industry maybe even on the society. - Good location.

      Svantaggi

      - Tendency of overpromises both internally and towards partners, investors hurt morale, some people are overworked and nothing is ever finished properly because there are 5 other things to do all the time - Advertised as a western-style startup but rather managed somewhere between a consultancy and a struggling mid-size Japanese organization. - Disconnect between senior management and the rest of the company - some teams are completely alone in figuring out what to do which creates lot of inefficiencies. - Company heavily tries so save on space and equipment which results in overcrowded office space. Scaling up is too fast while neither the office nor the organization can support this many people. - Problems are seldom listened to, feedback is not given, admin/management are occasionally hostile to employees or disregarding their needs to improve work efficiency and daily life.

      Thank you for your review and noticing that we are actively addressing and working on these issues to improve the company. We think that one of the most important steps that have been taken is actively involving senior technical staff in strategic decision making, allowing us to make more realistic promises and overall streamlining management. We strive to embody our own unique culture of east meets west. Silicon Valley is indeed an inspiration for most of the globe when it comes to tech. Being in Japan has meant opportunity, as well as challenge. We do acknowledge that there have been times when we haven’t quite gotten things right in merging different points of view. We welcome open and honest feedback like these reviews to help us get to the bottom of things and improve our culture. As for the office space situation, we were certainly too tight with space for a while. Hopefully you feel that the situation has been alleviated with the 36 additional seats at WeWork and freeing up space at the head office.

      Vantaggi

      ・Your colleagues are friendly in general and the operation & sales teams are very helpful. ・The company took a very quick action and introduced WFH policy to prevent their employees from the risk of getting COVID-19. ・Compensate fairly well compared with most companies in Japan. ・CEO is a well known figure and can potentially leverage his presence to drive the business with clients. ・Managers don't micro manage their team members and there are a lot of freedom.

      Svantaggi

      ・The company is lacking tech leads / senior engineers who are professionally mature, competent in leading projects & software engineering. ・The management does not take performance review seriously and they randomly put together a 360 review. Obviously unless he/she does a really bad job no one will get a low score hence this does not reveal low and high performers.
