Read the community guidelinesAfter completing one year, there is an annual salary increase every year, with an annual bonus of at least one month’s salary.
The Japanese boss trusts employees very much and is also very willing to give them opportunities to learn, make mistakes, and correct them.
When internal company issues are reported, they are verified before relevant action is taken.
The boss is too kind, so there are countless employees who come to slack off.
Fortunately, they have all left.
It looks like it makes sense....
As soon as I walked into the company, I realized it was just an office, and the space was not very large. Two employees, resembling receptionists, were sitting by the entrance. Then, one of them—a chubby woman wearing glasses—took me to the meeting room inside. Honestly, I was a little shocked that a Japanese company would have a meeting room without air conditioning.
Overall, the interview was fairly acceptable, but it felt unfocused. Aside from their own professional products, they expected employees to develop new business opportunities independently, yet they could not clearly explain what that involved. It came across as unprofessional; in detail, it felt like a company that expects employees to run well while also refusing to feed them!
They expect job seekers to have their own means of transportation but cannot provide a parking lot.
Also, during the interview, I vaguely felt that other employees were pricking up their ears to listen (including the chubby female employee who poured the tea), which made me feel extremely uncomfortable⋯⋯
That is basically it.
The office has air conditioning. Everyone does their own thing, and it’s very quiet.
They claim to be a Japanese company, but the benefits are even worse than those of Taiwanese companies.
They originally planned to deduct employees’ annual leave for Labor Day, but changed the policy only after being reported to the Labor Bureau.
They say there will be odors, so eating breakfast in the office is prohibited even before work, but eating lunch is allowed. A double standard.
