Pros
People came from interesting backgrounds from tech, finance, law, art etc.
Bilingual environment
Constantly trying to test the market through R&D - open to feedback from clients and generally implemented it quickly
Legitimate sponsors on the board - ex Christie’s chairman of Japan etc.
Kontras
For a salesperson there were no additional incentives, no bonuses (at the time I was employed here)
Not a diverse company in terms of nationality and gender (but to their credit maybe more diverse than most companies in Japan)
Very micromanaging with time and ironically salesforce time spreadsheet took too long to fill out - not just number of hours but management wanted to know exactly how many minutes you spent on sales leads generation, R&D, talking to engineers etc. A good salesperson does not have time for this and would focus on just doing their job, not admin
