NTT Employee Review

I worked at NTT

Pros – Great place for state-of-the-art research, rich research fields, friendly work environment among colleagues, lots of opportunities for publication/presentation/forum etc., flexible work time, collaboration with other research labs within NTT is possible.

Cons – As a foreigner, you may feel the limitation on your career growth opportunity. Communication in English was not very effective. It turned out that I found it easier to work on my Japanese instead of communicate with people in English. If you consider a full-time position, fluent Japanese is a must.

Advice to Senior Management – Be more open-mined to foreign researchers. Say things earlier and more explicitly if you want to correct things or change directions.
