Good company to work for (until 2011) - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) ValueCommerce

- International, bilingual environment - Comradery especially between R&D, Product and Marketing teams - Central location - Offshore offices enable travel within Asia - A genuine feeling that people want to innovate and make the company succeed - 401k matching

- The Executive Management change in 2011 set the company back several years - The new CEO comes from a banking background and has never worked for an internet company so many of decisions have been made without a full understanding of the company's services - A quickening exodus of talent is happening as senior managers and architects are losing belief in executive leadership - Although the company wishes to expand into international markets the executive team is surprisingly xenophobic

The people were very nice and I enjoyed working with them. I made good friends here and still keep in touch with them. The location in Aoyama also cannot be beat. Not too much overtime either.

The politics and the processes of the company make everything grind to a halt. There was a serious rift between departments that made it difficult to get much done. The new CEO took what was a very "gaishikei" company and is slowly turning it into a stricter "showa-jidai" one.
