Old company with lots of red tap: Japanese mentality, "work hard, not smart". - Senior Software Engineer DENSO Employee Review

Management have NO concept of personal time. When you are hired, you surrender your personal time. Working 24hrs multiple times a week is not an issue to management. Zero risk taking, very hard to bring in a new tool to use. Can't move up if you do not know to speak Japanese or served time in Japan. No matter how much cost saving ideas you promote; Management is very skillful to shooting each down, many are unmotivated, stopped bringing new ideas, found a corner to hide and get paid. Japanese mentality, "work hard, not smart".
