The tech stack is fairly outdated.

There's definitely a Japanese style of management vibe around the workplace. Since I was an intern, I don't feel like I can confirm this.

No advice. Management seems to be doing a solid job with what they've been given.

However, I will say this to a company: how you (as a company) established yourself from the beginning, how you set up your tech stack and culture, will have a huge role in determining where your company goes.

By establishing yourself onto a very old and traditional base, the company itself is stinted by this, and I definitely felt this as an intern. The company is lagging a few years behind what could have been and will perpetually play a game of catch-up.

Because what's established in the beginning has already happened, there's nothing to be done to change it. You can try, but this is set in stone and will never be completely changed.

See Brian Chesky's piece on culture for more insight on this.
