Pros
Free (expired) snacks, no dress code, nice coworkers, nice office location
Cons
Work Environment So, the working environment here can be difficult to explain but it basically comes down to one question: Is management in the office or not? If they aren't, the office is rather calm with everyone working hard, yet enjoying themselves. When management IS in the office, everyone is stressed out as management will micro-manage everyone, conduct witchhunts to find out who isn't performing "as they should", and will create confusion because the management doesn't have a concrete vision so one week they will state one goal, and the next week it will be entirely different. Negative side: Management says no overtime, but then will almost ensure that you work overtime/weekends/holidays. Also, good luck taking paid vacation if management deems it as troublesome. Management So, my main issue with MoveFast is with the management. Management will put up a positive persona where they preach a friendly, positive work environment that is supposed to be "better than your average Japanese company". It's all lies. Management will almost always be watching every step you take, will micro-manage you down to every sentence you write in presentations (not an exaggeration) and management will ask you for ridiculous amounts of work in an even more ridiculous timeline. Management will also try to dictate your life (literally) to make sure that everything you do is for the company. Anyways! My overview of MoveFast is this: if you need a stepping stone job to keep you in Japan for the time being, but plan on trying to find an out as soon as you can, this company is great for that! If you want to find a position where you can work happily (without crying in the bathroom on a weekly basis), this probably isn't the place for you.
