Good Meals, Less Stress
Good Meals, Less Stress
Free meals every day. Staff are very nice. Much less stress than other Japanese companies.
There can be too many meetings, depending on your team. "Englishnization" can be noticed easily, but still, a lot of employees use Japanese only in the office.
It feels like Japanese partners and staff drag the company down a bit. Either force them to speak English, or recruit more engineers with decent English.
