・A rare company culture in both Taiwan and Japan: a bureaucracy-free (without a seniority system) culture. Many companies claim not to have one, but in practice, unspoken rules mean that failing to curry favor with senior colleagues is tantamount to saying goodbye to your prospects. This does not mean there are no supervisors; rather, all members of the company can genuinely communicate about everything on an equal footing. They have maintained this consistently, which I sincerely find quite impressive. Even the Japanese headquarters follows the same approach—the bosses astonishingly do not have their own offices and sit together with everyone else @@. Seniority does not necessarily guarantee advancement, nor does being junior mean having no opportunities; at this company, it is actually difficult to generalize~~~

・In today’s modern society, which is almost utilitarian, this is a rare company that places strong emphasis on employees’ personal character and values. (I’ve heard Amazon also places tremendous importance on this.) In other words, simply being very good at pushing for results is not enough to get hired (really).

・The company atmosphere is very cheerful and the pace is fast. This is actually a product of the values described above. At the companies I worked for previously, colleagues who were unfamiliar with one another acted as if they did not see each other, and the atmosphere was gloomy.

・At my previous companies, supervisors would only ask you in front of everyone why you could not achieve a certain number. At this company, you do not have to worry about that kind of thing. In fact, supervisors discuss with you how to achieve the goal. When you are going through a low point, it is genuinely very moving. Basically, everyone who stays gets along extremely well~~ (a real team vibe)

・Because there are quite a few Japanese employees (though Taiwanese employees are still the majority), if your Japanese is not good enough, you will often need to rely on others. Basic Japanese conversational ability is still necessary.

・As a startup, the company is growing rapidly, and some systems have not kept up with the pace of expansion. In the short term, it still cannot be compared with very large corporations.

・There are many department get-togethers, so it is easy to let your figure go without realizing it.

・The internal office area is designed as a completely open workspace without partitions (Japanese companies seem to prefer this), so if you speak ill of others, it is easy to get caught?
