Indeed

Indeed's primary language is is English. There are teams internally that work on products focused on the Japanese market, and these teams will need to know Japanese.

Indeed sponsors Japanese visas for engineers. The only condition is that you meet the requirements of the Japanese government (but this is the case at every company). This usually means that you'll need a bachelor's degree or 10 years of demonstrated work experience in your field.

Indeed offers an open vacation policy to full-time employees across all of their global offices. This means that there's no limit on paid time off. There aren't many companies doing this in Tokyo so it's a pretty nice perk.

Indeed has some pretty nice benefits, which they say is because they want to enable their employees to do their best work possible.

Here are some of the top ones:

🍔 Daily catered meals

🍭 Endless snacks and drinks

💰 Incentive programs

🏋️‍♀️ Wellness days and fitness classes

⛱ Lots of open spaces and private areas to focus in their offices

👕 Casual dress code

🎳 Support group activities for employees

🍻 Regular happy hours at their Tokyo offices

Indeed's interview process varies a bit based on the role, but for engineers it's usually something along these lines:

• Whiteboard coding challenges
• Resume-focused, soft-skills conversational interviews
• Code review exercises
• Architecture discussions
• Management interviews (if applicable)

During the onsite round (which can be done via video chat if you're overseas), you'll meet with a few different members plus some senior managers. If you're visiting the office in person, you'll have the chance to check out the office and have lunch with your potential teammates.

Indeed trusts their employees to work where they’re most comfortable and productive. That’s why they offer flexible working options to their employees.

The options for the majority of engineering roles are:

• Working in the office
• Fully remote from home
• A combination of remote and in office

Indeed "trusts their employees to manage their time in a way that works best for them". They don't have core time. You can work when you want to, as long as you're getting your work done.
