This made me laugh, I didn't completely experience it first hand because I was working in a small 12 people company (and my boss was 31, so rather atypical for japan). But, from what I heard from my friends working in big multinational companies, it's exactly like this. Of course, though as foreigners they could get away with a lot because of their inherent quirkiness (I'm definitely sure it's much nicer to be a young foreigner working at a japanese company than a young japanese employee... ) What also surprised me is the low level of computer science education given by japanese universities (compared to the level in electronics for example...)
