It is a Japanese company based out of Tokyo and the culture is very formal where the norm is to come in, put your head down and work. There is very little socialization with those around you or you will disrupt others who are trying to work. You are encouraged to turn people in to the Integrity Hotline if you see people doing non work related activity, or accessing non work related websites because it is expected that you produce work for the company 100 percent of the time. Having a high work ethic that includes working during evenings and weekends and checking emails on vacations will get you praise and is expected once you get in the Analyst, AVP, VP and Director levels. A lot of organizational silo's and a high degree of micromanagement and you will need to be able to account for how you spent your day on a separate time tracker.
