Ventajas
I think everyone ought to have, in one way or another, a horrible toxic work experience at least once in their professional career. So, in that regard I'm grateful to Keyence for giving me that.
Desventajas
It's like Company Culture and Management are competing to see who's more toxic and Work-Life Balance is winning. Get ready to be micromanaged, underappreciated, and overworked. You'll have no amicable relationship with any of your coworkers; you won't even know the employees who may work 10 feet away from you because they're in a different department, so you'll just never ever speak to them. And if you do try to strike a conversation in the breakroom, in the hallway, in the elevator, you'll be met with scorn and silence. Get ready to be given vague open-ended tasks and then immediately chastised when it isn't what the person wanted. You can expect an intensive Japanese corporate work culture, which informs a lot of the general lack of work-life balance, the *expectation* to work overtime, the pathological strictness, the general attitude of your coworkers, the eerie pin drop silence of basically every floor in the building, EXCEPT FOR the employees straight from Japan, who are unprofessionally loud and obnoxious all the time, borderline inept at their job function, do literally whatever they want, and basically get away with everything you yourself would be immediately reprimanded for. And I swear, it felt like I was being punished any time I would choose to work from home. I would never receive the amount of unscheduled out-of-the-blue teams calls MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY in office vs when I worked from home. Seriously, is there any evidence this anxiety inducing, depressing, and mind-numbing company culture actually does anything for productivity? Would it somehow grind the operations of this company to a halt to have generally happy employees? Or is that what the healthcare package is there for: to cover the therapy you'll need because of this place.
