I am the Yokozuna 222 Posted October 11 Despite operating in one of Japan’s most successful modern industries, semiconductors, many Japanese companies, with the partial exception of Keyence, still offer compensation well below global market levels while expecting employees to take on a wide range of responsibilities. From a technological standpoint, true innovation has slowed in the past two decades; much of the progress remains rooted in R&D achievements from the 1980s and 1990s. Organizationally, many firms remain manual and paper process-heavy, with limited automation and outdated internal systems. For anyone considering employment in Japan or with a Japanese company abroad, it can be a valuable cultural and résumé experience. but less so a long-term career accelerator. In many cases, it suits professionals seeking stability or a capstone phase in their career more than those looking for steep skill development or fast progression.
