Vantaggi
You gain decent experience (they will hire right out of college). Great peers and lab personnel, plenty of parking. Decent health insurance and 12 holidays a year. Recently updated their job title list to allow for easier promotions.
Svantaggi
Extremely high turnover due to long hours, low pay (much less than industry), and employees treated poorly. Certain employees have stayed past midnight on multiple occasions. Clients are promised unreasonable timelines forcing the lab to suffer. Horrible upper management, CSO refuses to take any opinion into consideration and has mindset of "we didn't need you anyway" when people leave. Will always find a scapegoat to take the blame when things go wrong and/or lies. Refuses to allow flexible hours. No pay raises. Minimal vacation/personal/sick days. Everything is controlled by Japan HQ, which makes things very difficult in general.
