Pros

Decent office location (at least in Tokyo) Some smart colleagues around

Cons

Dev people are doing first-line support instead of development Job may be different from the description you get from your hiring manager Late conf calls, long hours Be prepared to learn and use Slang for development (ancient property language and environment) - pretty much worthless skill outside of GS

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
