How's working in $YOUR_NATION? A fairly diverse experience, right? You've got scrappy startup programmers and 7-11 clerks and toilet-plunging janitors and people kept on a government payroll for no discernible reason, right? We have those, too. Whatever job conditions you have seen, we almost certainly have someone here.

Concrete for techies, work at myGengo is very different than being a salaryman at a particular Japanese multinational I have intimate experience of. That multinational is different from Toyota. Toyota is very much not Sony. There's a raft of Big Freaking Foreign Megacorps in Tokyo and the experience of working for them is, I'm told, not salarymanesque and also different from their home offices.
