The work is easy and there isn’t much pressure at work.
You can leave on time, and you can go to the convenience store to buy things during work.
Annual leave is difficult to take. Japanese managers will ask what you’re going to do and why you want to take annual leave.
The salary never increases (whatever you start at is what you’ll keep earning), and there are no benefits. There are no employee trips or company dinners, no year-end banquet, and no gifts or cash for the New Year holidays.
The Japanese managers are also amateurs who learned along the way. They often come up with proposals based on their own assumptions that seem good to them but are actually terrible once you hear them.
This is a company that is very good at making grand promises, but there is no promotion system. Decisions about policies are often not yet made by the head office, while the Taiwan office goes ahead and makes its own decisions first.
