The company previously promoted strong work–life balance and a flexible hybrid work environment, which was one of its biggest strengths. Unfortunately, since the new CHRO (Mihita)’s appointment, the culture has noticeably shifted.
Employees living within a 32 km radius are now required to work from the office at least three days per week, with very limited flexibility. Those who are unable to comply may be called for HR discussions, and in several cases, roles have been declared “no longer required,” leading to termination.
There are also concerns about job security. Some employees who joined recently — including those still in probation — were laid off shortly after starting. Many had resigned from stable positions to join, expecting long-term opportunities. It appears that restructuring decisions may have been planned well in advance.
Additionally, new hires are reportedly encouraged to post positive Glassdoor reviews within their first three months. However, many employees say the actual work culture becomes more apparent only after that period.
Several employees who raised concerns in good faith reportedly faced negative consequences rather than solutions. As a result, morale and psychological safety have been affected.
