My (admittedly limited, but not null) experience with Japanese business culture suggests that things may be a bit different there. From my understanding, it takes a very long time for trust between businesses (in my case), or between businesses and employees to be forged. The people you talked to may not have had enough pull yet to make anything happen outside of their own teams.
- nandemo 13y agoSorry if it wasn't clear, but I'm talking specifically about Japanese branches of foreign tech companies like Google and Facebook (though the actual companies were different). > My (admittedly limited, but not null) experience with Japanese business culture suggests that things may be a bit different there. On the contrary, if a Japanese company is hiring and I know someone who works there then I'm 99% sure my resume won't be redirected to /dev/null. Very likely I'll get an interview, otherwise at least a polite but human-written refusal letter.
