Great Growth, Tough Sales
Great Growth, Tough Sales
It was an environment where I could grow as a software engineer. My colleagues were particularly talented, and whenever I had questions, they were always willing to help. Most importantly, it was a place where I could work proactively rather than passively.
As for overtime, it was about 20 hours a month, which I believe is average for Japan.
Because the CEO is a one-man manager, even as a software engineer, you are required to do mobile sales. This is very difficult. Communication is easy for Japanese people, but for foreigners, it means having to conduct sales in Tokyo, a foreign land. Some of them don't speak any Japanese at all.

First call was setup with a recruiter who told me the process. Gave me an OA, and that was it. LC questions for the OA, which I didn't make through, I guess.
