1. There is definitely plenty of time here to learn things independently. Much of the work assigned is not urgent, and anyone with some ability to work independently can handle it.

2. No other advantages.

1. After working here for a year, the salary increase is effectively 0. I asked several people who had been here for more than five years, and they all said they had never received a raise. The only opportunity for a raise is through a change in position.

2. Communication between levels is basically 0. There is no group chat where the entire development team can communicate. People only look for the developers they are used to working with, and no one gives notice about what they are doing. When the system and development teams test separately and encounter problems, you have to ask several people.

3. The company has daily and monthly reports. The daily report has to be filled out in many places, and it is unclear what would be considered a reasonable amount for the monthly report. On top of that, every so often the president or CEO requires everyone to submit a formal personal contribution report, which is completely useless. Do these executives not know how to check the system themselves?

4. They keep saying this is a happy company, but I really do not feel any sense of happiness here. The afternoon tea is genuinely limited to drinks, and it is only provided once a month. Almost all the rules are merely based on the Labor Standards Act; there is not a single thing that, in practice, is better than anything required by the Labor Standards Act. For example, there is no pay on typhoon days. Even things like health checkups seem to have been unavailable for a long time, with this year, 2026, apparently being a special exception.

5. A lot of things at work are constrained. Any plans proposed without a budget from upper management are dismissed as impossible by the time they reach the supervisor level.

6. The supervisors' professional competence is mediocre. During the interview, they said I had no experience, but after I joined, whenever I discussed plans involving a lot of technical details, the supervisor had to ask me questions before understanding them. So who exactly lacked experience?

7. I advise everyone who can escape to do so quickly. So far, about 10–15% of the total workforce has left. Come here only to build experience, and do not expect a salary increase unless you negotiated a high salary from the start.

8. For those without ambitions who only want to find a job where they can coast until retirement, this place is very stable, so there is no need to worry.
