Infostellar

Infostellar does not require any of their members to be native Japanese speakers. Due to the nature of their business and their customer base, it is more important for them to have members who speak fluent/business-level English instead of Japanese. Of course, they welcome individuals who speak both languages, but the main language they use in the office is English, so that is the only language requirement.

We do sponsor visas for candidates living outside of Japan.

Infostellar is now working in a hybrid work style. They work remotely and gather at the co-working space in Tokyo twice per month to enhance communication across the team. The frequency of the meet-up may change in the future.

Infostellar’s office hours are 10:00am - 7:00pm JST and their core hours are from 12:00pm until 4:00pm. Most meetings happen between 12:00pm - 4:00pm and their members can schedule their working day around the core hours e.g. come in earlier/later, etc. At times they have meetings with customers in time zones that require working odd hours, but they allow members to adjust their day/schedules accordingly.

Infostellar does not have a diversity policy, but they try to be inclusive and ensure they have a diverse team. With English being the working language, it ensures that their non-Japanese members do not feel left out as all communication is in a common language. Irrespective of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other identifying feature, they do their best to ensure they are providing equal opportunities for all their members, current and future. Infostellar has open communication guidelines and encourages members to work closely with the People Operations team to ensure that they are creating a positive and harmonious work environment.

60% of Infostellar’s members have children. Their flexible working policy allows for their members with families to schedule their working day to ensure optimal family time. Infostellor encourages parents to bring their children into the office. During the first year of Infostellar’s life, their CEO and Co-Founder was pregnant with her first child, so they have always been very supportive and understanding of children and families. The same policy extends to the broader family and to children, too!

They also offer paid childcare leave.
