Works Applications Employee Reviews about "working hours"

Pros

The pay provided is higher than most companies for a fresh out of college person Work is pretty interesting People are very supportive

Cons

Can be boring some times Working hours can seem to be pretty long some times Language barrier is there in many situations

Pros

Very good pay for a fresh graduate. Opportunity to experience the Japanese work culture. Flexibility(to some extent) in working hours

Cons

Very high working hours Too much pressure Lack of communication(as most of the Japanese developers don't know English)

Pros

No pros as such. The salary looks good on the surface, but believe it isn't worth all the frustrations and ridiculous amounts they ask you to work.

Cons

Promotions are not possible - Extremely random process based on how good your relation with your manager is, although even that doesn't guarantee a promotion/pay raise. Huge amount of working hours - the average time you spent in the office per day is well over 11-12 hours. There is frequent scolding at Indian engineers. Managers have no respect for Indians here. There is bias in terms of treatment given to the Japanese and Indians at the same position in the company. No management structure. You end up doing everything by yourself. This leads to very low productivity, which means that you end up staying in the office for longer hours during release cycles. You even need to come on weekends. Only 20% of the batch has been promoted (read 10% salary raise) even after working for almost 2 years now. The weird STM training process of 4 months. Waste of time for people who already know software development.

Pros

1. You get to learn some new technologies like Cassandra and get to work in challenging Projects like AI , Machine Learning 2. Easy Relocation Options between Japan Singapore and Shanghai 3. Stability of Job

Cons

1. It works according to Japanese Work Culture which means longer working hours. 2. Hardly any Work-life balance 3. Older and Experienced colleagues are reluctant to change easily

Pros

High salary. Many good colleagues. Applied a lot of new techniques, so one can learn a lot of new things.

Cons

The working hours is a bit long, but may due to high salary. Communication is sometimes an issue in collaboration.
