The team as a whole is relatively stable, with many experienced colleagues. Everyone’s work rhythm has become fairly established, although each day can still be different. For newcomers, although questions are verbally encouraged, there is actually limited room for error during the learning process, so they may need to grasp all the details and procedures within a short period of time.
The work itself is relatively changeable because the overall production process relies almost entirely on external resources. Managing and communicating with outsourced vendors therefore becomes particularly important. Each partner operates differently, requiring a high degree of flexibility and adaptability. Much of this experience consists of tacit understanding and skills accumulated over a long period of time, making the challenge greater for newcomers who are still learning the processes and building relationships.
Because the manager is busy with business matters and frequent external interactions, they are often unable to provide specific, timely assistance, offering mostly guidance on direction while leaving the details of execution to be worked out independently. Cooperation within the department also tends to involve people working independently. Although everyone respects one another, practical support is relatively limited. Since the manager has long-standing relationships with various partner organizations, coordination is relatively smooth; however, newcomers or colleagues who have not yet established their networks may feel a certain disparity in this regard.
In addition, workloads can become concentrated during certain periods, often requiring extended working hours, so overall time management can also be challenging. As for related allowances or institutional arrangements, those vary from company to company, so I would rather not comment further.
Overall, it was an experience that enabled me to grow quickly and challenge myself, while also helping me clarify the work culture and environment I would like to pursue in the future.
It depends on the individual.
