Pros
Absolutely nothing to like here
Cons
At this point, there is absolutely nothing to like about this organisation. Language barrier is a huge problem. The Japanese management brighter understands not can speak in English and it is straight up embarrassing to witness. The management promotes brainless people who can only receive instructions and have no originality of thought or intelligence - you will get to see these examples in business development, marketing and HR. It is laughable to see the new COO and HR struggle with the basics on a day to day basis. The recently promoted people are undeserving and the arrogance they have acquired overnight is a typical example of what happens when you give sudden power in the hands of incompetent people - particularly the COO, the HR and the Marketing HOD. The most problematic part is that the Japanese management, specifically the MD are big time racists - they make money off of Indians, take their resources from Indians but treat them like dogs and sometimes like they’re invisible. It is rather embarrassing to see how they lack most basic and civic sense - can barely say “thank you” or “you’re welcome”. It is almost as if they never went to attend school. Their sense of and actual inferiority as compared to most English speaking Indian staff is stark. It is shocking how tone deaf the Japanese management is. There are so many examples in today’s day and age about what is considered good comoany culture and there are so many obvious parameters - companies like Google, Sony, Panasonic have set such good examples and yet they act like retards (specially the new Director) and push stupid policies in the name of “internal checks and control” and he is actually the reason why a lot of good talent is going out. In the name of checks and control, managers are merely supposed to seek follow ups and have no accountability for their own selves. The new director lacks personality and a strong character and comes across as a stupid robot who will ask you the stupidest of questions and will waste your company’s time. They don’t know how to treat employees and they certainly don’t know how to retain good employees. They keep organising these meeting where they keep telling Indians about themselves and Indian staff is really not interested. They keep presenting Japan as some kind of a highly sought after place whereas nobody is really interested in it or it’s culture. Indians find it rather robotic and depressing. Somebody really needs to give tye MD and the Director a reality check and let them know that we really don’t care for their nonsense.
