  Recruitment Background

The duration may vary depending on how quickly you adapt.

  Full Remote Work: Full remote work allowance (in place of commuting allowance) to set up a home environment *For those working fully remotely a full remote work allowance is provided in place of commuting allowance (equivalent to the cost of a monthly commuter pass). Even for those working fully remotely if they come to the office a roundtrip transportation fee of up to 2500 per day is provided. (There may be changes to the full remote work allowance in the future.)

  Company Atmosphere

  We are working to create a workplace where you can enjoy growth while having fun by creating a system to support team and member growth. We actively incorporate opinions such as how to make it better or introduce new methods creating an environment where you have a high degree of discretion and freedom.

  Not only are there otaku (enthusiasts) but also employees with various backgrounds all working together as one to realize the companys vision. Overall many employees have something they are passionate about whether its work or personal and respect each others values and priorities.

  Work Style

  It is important to enjoy your private life! The company culture emphasizes working efficiently to enhance concentration during the 10 am to 6 pm working hours (overtime outside of these hours is compensated on a perminute basis; average overtime across the company is 20 hours per month). There is an environment for skill improvement such as support for attending external seminars and purchasing books. Companywide events are kept to a minimum and employees are encouraged to plan and participate in study sessions and similar activities voluntarily.

  Personnel System

  We have introduced a personnel system that prioritizes nurturing talents to support the companys growth in the medium to long term. Specifically evaluations grades and rewards are determined based on a grade system. Based on the missions and business skills defined for each grade evaluations are conducted by setting short to longterm milestones with individual OKRs making the evaluation criteria clear. Moreover since how efficiently and productively you can work within the 7hour working hours is considered an important indicator working overtime extensively does not necessarily lead to higher evaluations.
