Worse than army camp - Field Engineer Tokyo Electron Employee Review

Training wasn't well-rounded, too much focus on safety. Got thrown into the field with little to no kownledge on how their tools work. Meetings for the sake of having meetings, no clear direction of what to do every day (at least you get routine orders in army, but here there's none). 70%-80% of the time was spent camping at the canteen waiting for instructions. The remaining 20%-30% depends on luck, whether or not you get arrow-ed to be SKW. And if you can do it once, you're the go-to person for that thereafter. Seniors can also just verbally-abuse the more junior staff, and when such cases are reported to higher-ups, no further actions were taken since all the senior staff are part of a group. For those of us who truly wanted to learn, manuals/procedures were pretty much all in Japanese :D translation tools could not translate captions on pictures/diagrams.
