Leaving work on time, lunch on time, and a water dispenser and toilet paper are provided.
Due to the nature of the work, mobile phone use is restricted to protect intellectual property from being leaked, and the computers used are permanently disconnected from the internet.
During work, you need to inform your supervisor whenever you leave your seat.
There is a required daily output. Much of the work is skill-based, so if you have specific needs or need to wear gloves that may affect your work, you will be required to meet a specific quota, which is very troublesome.
Because my previous assignment involved compositing effects (commonly known as “masking”), quality was often emphasized, but the supervisor of the correction department (inspection department) was extremely obnoxious and spoke in an incredibly sarcastic tone!
The Japanese supervisor’s way of doing things is very peculiar. First of all, the tools we use are in the worst possible condition, but they simply refuse to replace them. Repairs are also very slow and may only happen once in a long while. On top of that, the tool has already been discontinued, yet they will not replace it with a new product or look for an alternative! Then they blame employees for having such low output! They are basically Taiwanese old-school exploitative bosses pretending to be Japanese.
The software we use is also bizarre. Can you believe that in 2025 they were still using AE from Adobe 5.5? As a result, if you sometimes fail to save carefully while working, the software can crash after reaching its memory limit.
And the Japanese first-level supervisor is basically childish. Seeing how they treat the second-level supervisor is truly enough to make you shake your head…
The interpreter also has that same dead-fish attitude…
I will not list all the shortcomings one by one. In any case, this company is very results-oriented, but sometimes the way it treats people also feels like it is driving away capable employees.
