Pros

-Good dental and vision benefits. -Free Square Enix titles when they launch. -It's a cool industry.

Cons

-Pay is awful. -No room at all for growth. I've been what I would guess is "pity" interviewed for other roles at the company, but they seem to prioritize outside hires and have no intentions of promoting growth within the company. -Layoffs

Pros

Free food and drinks available often Free games and other goodies around releases and events Most people are friendly and easy/fun to work with/be around Annual bonus

Cons

Japan is stuck in the past and refuses to adapt or accept what gamers/NA coworkers actually need/want Customer Service has been outsourced to save costs but you get what you pay for Projects that would actually win the market have been cancelled consecutively to make room for slop Almost impossible to move up since there's no budget and practically zero opportunity
