First, let me mention that my job title was “Maintenance Technical Information Engineer,” but that was only in the past, because I have already left the company. If you want to know why I left, feel free to take a look.
1. You can listen to podcasts at work.
2. You can decide what you want to eat for lunch.
3. Everyone has at least a basic computer to use.
A traditional Japanese-style company where seniority comes first; if you are good at flattering people, they will smile at you.
The department manager’s logic is very cool: after listening to what they say, you feel as though you have heard nothing at all.
The junior managers within the department can be good or bad. If you are lucky, you will work under a good one; if you are unlucky, you can only hope that your gender is the “correct” one.
Having the “correct” gender becomes a direct passport to privileges: you can sleep during work hours, and the manager will not get angry. Instead, they will gently say, “Don’t fall asleep again, okay?”
By the way, let me also mention the company’s usual attitude during interviews. They will mostly say something like: “The things inside our company are different from those at other companies outside, so basically you will have to learn everything from scratch. Therefore, regarding salary, we can only offer you the minimum wage. Is that acceptable?”
