Pros

-Historical IPs -Flexible hours -Most people are nice and friendly -Easy commute with Caltrain -Close to Philz coffee

Cons

-Japanese executives won’t value you if you don’t speak Japanese. -Executives frequently blame others when their mistakes are called out by headquarters -Those who try to avoid being scapegoated are suspended, demoted, terminated or financially retaliated. -Smart employees saves emails and meeting minutes to protect themselves from getting scapegoated but can still be blindsided. -Female employees are often removed from important decision making process and business dinners. -Maternity leave is openly frowned upon. -The CEO is known to send scathing emails to publicly humiliate his direct reports. Many good people have left Capcom to escape from such toxic work environment -High turnover -Under staffed with snail pace hiring process -Below industry average pay -Minuscule annual raise -Zero bonus after the huge success of Monster Hunter World -Involving HR means making the matter worse. HR can't keep anything confidential and will always side with whoever is more senior
