Lack of communication
Lack of communication

Lack of communication.
The environment is still extremely Japanese and not willing to embrace diversity. The culture is almost military-like, where everyone is expected to behave the same, following the nonsensical work process. Departments don't communicate well with each other, resulting in you always having to explain the situations when you get contacted by multiple people from different sectors, especially in English.
If you are trying to use English, go all the way and actually take it to a useful level.
