Pros

- Work with some of the most passionate people in the industry. Very smart group. - decent insurance - get to play video games for work sometimes

Cons

- Capcom Japan runs the show, there really isn't a point to the US office aside from taking directions from Japan. - don't come with ideas, Japan will shoot them all down. Don't believe the interview process if they tell you they're looking for creative people - outdated systems to work with internally - Work hours are US but bleed into evening because of Japan - work day is AT LEAST until 6pm everyday and it's frown upon to leave or log off early even if you're done with work - Capcom Japan will blame US or other teams before taking any responsibility - horrendous pay/compensation for a company that is based in a city with one of the highest cost of living. - office setting is depressing cubicles with no windows except for the executives - frustrating to see so much talent within the US team go to waste - only get 10 PTO days for the year when starting and need to accrue them. - work from home pre-covid was frowned upon
