Historic Company with Outdated Practices - Anonymous employee ITOCHU Employee Review

Lots of incompetent people. No understanding of American business culture. No effort to understand American business culture. No opportunities for advancement unless you are a Japanese national. Very limited advancement opportunities for women in the company. Not customer focused. Too much focus on outdated business practices. Very poor adoption of new technology. Strong opposition to any changes. Many layers of middle level management who do not think and do not add any value at all. There are clear and very apparent discriminatory practices against women and against non-Japanese staff.
