Highly not recommended

Pros

Pros- only when you get into the good books of the Japanese management.

Cons

senior staff will not teach but reprimand when things go wrong and take credits when things are "correct" For newbies- Never expect any one to teach you any thing. Some senior staff are promoted because they are Long enough to get promotion and not because they are capable - in short they are just empty shell. Too political environment. Will not give any star for this review

Will not recommend it (Singapore)

Pros

- Decent pay - Good and bright environment (recently renovated office) - Location is prime - Older colleagues are very good and kind - Not the strictest "Japanese" culture here as most would think

Cons

- Management lacks clear direction / management have their own politics - Reward system is based on how many boots you lick and how long you OT (even if you have no work and you are just chatting on the phone). As a result, the team is a very unproductive one and no substantial work is done. Unfortunately, you will also not learn much here. - Team can be streamlined but management might keep employees just because they are in favour leading to an increase in expenses. - Wastage of man hours for repeated and unnecessary tasks. - Benefits are not at market rate. HR could be more humane. - Not sure about progression in this company

Finance Dept (Singapore)

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

1. Good location 2. Contemporary office & building 3. Well known Japanese mnc headquarter in Tokyo

Cons

1. 1 year contract basis (applies only for finance dept). Conversion from contract to perm staff is subject to approval based on available headcount a year later, not performance. Good luck cos u gonna need it. 2. Slow system which results in meaningless and unpaid OT clocked. If u have nothing better to do after work hours, then this suits u. 3. Team spirit low, no support & encouragement from managerial level even team members as they expect u to perform without proper training on day 1. If u are a fan of hermit crab, then go for it. 4 Questinable workflow and all executive level are overloaded with tons of work on top of lousy IT system. U need two brains to survive. 5. OT is being judged as part of the staff performance, thus this means work life imbalance. Most of them have no life after work so they stay long hours to show work commitment. 6. Discrimination: if u are a man, forget it cos they prefer ladies who is married but still without kids. Don’t tell them u are in for family planning cos they would strike u off the list immediately.
