①What kind of work did you do in your previous job?

Game Programmer

I've loved programming since I was a student, and I've tried making a lot of different things

I found it on an IT engineer job site

③ Current duties

4. What makes you glad that you joined the company

It's easy to improve your skills

There is a qualification assistance system and study groups that support technical studies, so there is a lot of catching up on new information. There is also a company-wide trend and atmosphere of trying to incorporate new things

⑤ Describe in one word the atmosphere you felt at Beyond when you joined the company

"Energetic!!!"

There is a sense of energy throughout the company

⑥What are some interesting or surprising things you have noticed since joining the company?

・There is a private shop inside the company, not an office Glico

It is located in the Osaka office and Yokohama office and is often used

・The entire company has a lunch meeting, and each department has a morning and evening meeting every day

At the department's morning and evening meetings, project tasks and work are confirmed and progress is checked every day.
Instead of checking work once a week, tasks are confirmed every day so that progress can be kept track of.

There's just so much communication

Of course we talk about work, but we also have a lot of other conversations, such as casual communication

・Many internal systems

There are some interesting systems in place, such as an early departure system for anniversaries and an incentive system for obtaining qualifications

①What kind of work did you do in your previous job?

Sports goods sales staff

When thinking about changing jobs, I wanted to do a job where I could create something → I want to become an engineer

②How did you find out about Beyond?

I found this company on a job site while I was looking for a job that would allow me to be involved in the development of our company's services.
What I wanted to do matched my interests, and ultimately I joined the company because I felt the culture and atmosphere seemed like a good fit for me.

③ Current duties

Development and renovation of our own services (Apmil Edison)

4. What makes you glad that you joined the company

It's hard to keep up every day, but I can feel some kind of growth every day

⑤ Describe in one word the atmosphere you felt at Beyond when you joined the company

"I want to come to work every day"

The atmosphere makes you want to come to work every day. I was impressed by how lively the company is

⑥What are some interesting or surprising things you have noticed since joining the company?

・Dress is too casual

I asked about the attire for my first day at work, and they said it was up to me, but I ended up standing out a lot when I showed up in a suit for my first day.
I was happy that someone spoke to me because I was wearing a suit, but if you're joining Beyond, you really don't need to wear a suit! (Just be careful, you'll stand out like me)

・Many opportunities to output

Every day, you reflect on your progress and verbalize it for reporting, which helps you organize your skills. This makes it easy to understand what you have learned and how you have grown. You
also receive feedback on your output, which creates an environment that fosters growth.

・Free address

Because of the free address system, I couldn't remember any of the names right after I joined the company. It has the advantage of being able to talk to a variety of people, but it also means that you tend to sit in the same area

It was a culture shock because everything was so different!

An environment where you can be yourself without having to put up with anything strange

⑤ Describe in one word the atmosphere you felt at Beyond when you joined the company

"Freedom"

There is a flexible working system and an environment where you can express your opinions, so there is freedom in a good way

⑥What are some interesting or surprising things you have noticed since joining the company?

・Large discretion

We have an environment where you can give your opinions and actually put them into practice

・No barriers between job titles

Regardless of position, everyone talks to me normally. There is no awkwardness in talking.
Because it is a free address system, we often end up sitting next to each other and talking.

・Strong person-to-person interaction
