Dislikes

Dirty politics Japan management is the worst, especially if you end up working for Database support roles. Biased people If you want to grow, do not even look at this an an option to join Slave culture Indian employees are more lf order takers and puppets, No one has any authority, a good for nothing senior leader from Japan can mess your professional life or even the entire team’s life for good. I would say, never accept an offer from them. If you want to learn, there are plenty of good companies out there. Even a good employee under the third class brainless management will suffer
