    Slow progression with unclear career path and traditional working practices. Lack of the young punch as it is being leaded very conservatively in some depts.
    The good things- Clean working environment given that the company still has a strong Japanese culture - Employee's Welfare (Coverage on medical, dental) - Provides learning exposure experience on the market in a global reach for some, it depends on your role as chances are very limited
    The challenges- Mass GenX (mid1960s-early1980s) in the management roles with very traditional working practices - Excessive workload, role description unaligned with compensation received - Lack of direction planning from managers on the career path for the members, slow progression - Feedback, voices are often neglected

    After all, they are MNC company but here will be quite rough on your learning path. Not being appreciative is a norm for particular department. Either take it or leave it.
    The good things1. Flexible working days - 2 days WFH (but it is not permanent) 2. Staff Welfare - Dental, body check-up, medical claim, etc. (Depend on your staff rank) 3. MNC company - gain quite plentiful knowledge from B2B concept.
    The challenges1. The management not appreciative - staff workload always be unseen 2. Not clear direction from management to team member 3. Extremely Japanese Culture 4. No commission for sales role

    The challengesSlow promotion, don't pay by skill or competency, everyone along the job grade gets the same pay, follows closely to the minimum laws and rules set by mom, not innovative when they say they innovate.

    why is there a basic salary different in two same recruitment notice.
    The good thingsI had join Murata for less than a month now, Deeply disappointed on how the company can just anyhow adjust the basic salary in two different recruitment notice. Same position same working timing same work scope. Is it even allowed within MOM recruitment protocore? although i do love working at Murata with good supervisors and i learning new things everyday, however its not acceptable with such arrangement.

    Plenty to learn
    The good thingsAble to set up many systems of performing the job well include many check-and-balance so that the company is in full compliance to the regulatory framework of corporate and in Singapore.
    The challengesToo many red-tapes and people who get promotions via granting favours to bosses. Too many fabrications of work done which bosses loved to hear with little or no verification. It is a place for people with \"forked\" or sweet tongues.

    Japanese electronic MNC
    The good thingsStrong spiritual of team work. The ways of communication improvement are great. Multi races worked as a team and achieving to the targeted goal. Good company prospects and management will properly plan our career development via projects completion performance achievement KPIs. Majority gender is female, especially adopting PRC and Indian nationalities and their cultures.
    The challengesThe night shift working pattern is really rocks, it may suit to those person who really can challenge their bodies timing against the sleepy hours at night. The fast pace of Japanese working environment will keep our brains thinking the innovative solutions, and it will be put ourselves in stressful and challenging work environment.
