Work at Mogic

We have had several new graduates/new graduates/mid-career for 3 out of the past 5 years. We cannot give you a prediction as we decide which departments to apply for based on the balance of the organization. Please check our announcements and social media from time to time. In addition, our turnover rate is much lower than the generally accepted average in terms of full-time employees (30% of new graduates leave after 3 years, while the general public leaves 15% a year).

For mid-career hires, the professional experience required varies by department. For engineers and designers, we always check the languages and software they can use and their past accomplishments as a base. We then check to see if they fit Mogic's corporate culture and if they are compatible with the team members they will be working with. We do not necessarily hire people with high skills. We also check the potential of directors, producers, and other business professionals in addition to their basic business experience.

Salary increases for full-time employees are given once a year and bonuses are paid twice a year. In the past, all employees have received raises in all 15 years since the company was established, and bonuses have been paid as well. As an organization that emphasizes teamwork, there are no significant salary increases for any particular individual. The level of responsibility is determined by the job authority rules, and position and other allowances are weighted accordingly.

Evaluations of all full-time employees are made by all directors/executive officers/chiefs in September, the month of the fiscal year end, for all employees. Since there are no numerical targets for the company as a whole, evaluations are not based on numerical values, but rather a final decision is made based on a series of detailed opinions. All opinions expressed at the meeting are fed back to each employee in paper form.

Benefits for full-time employees are designed with an emphasis on longevity. All employees are covered by a special endowment insurance policy while building up a monthly retirement fund. There is a housing allowance for those who live within 3 km of the office, as well as commuting and position allowances. In addition, employees are covered by an employee pension plan and receive regular health checkups (optional) through membership in the Kanto IT Software Health Insurance Association. If there are drinking parties, to date all have been paid for by the company.

As a general rule, we begin accepting internship applications in early January each year, and close the application form when we reach capacity. Because we receive a particularly large number of applications for designer and marketing positions, we usually close the application form by March or April.

For intern employment, we do not require any previous work experience. However, we do ask how much you have learned about the position you are applying for. In the IT industry, new technologies are constantly being developed, and we believe that if you are just looking for someone to teach you, you will likely stop growing someday in the future. Therefore, we would like to hear about the process of what and how you thought about it in your own head.

Almost all of our new graduate hires to date have come from interns. Because our culture emphasizes teamwork, we believe that it is better for both parties if we take the time to understand each other. If you are interested in pursuing a full-time position after starting as an intern, please let your supervisor know as soon as possible. The final decision on whether or not you are hired is a separate issue, but we can proceed in a sincere manner.

Part-time positions are filled only when there is a vacancy in the current position. Please check Mogic's social media sites for more information.

No previous work experience is required for part-time employment. We have hired many people with no previous IT industry experience. Basically, you will have no problem with the skills required to use a computer or smartphone to shop and submit articles. When it comes to hiring, we are looking to see if you can fit in with your team and bring a new style to the company.

Regardless of whether you are a full-time/intern/part-time employee, you will be screened and interviewed at least once. For full-time employees, application screening, first interview (sometimes online), and second interview (in-person interview at the office). For interns, application screening and first interview (online). For part-time positions, application screening and first interview (in-person interview at our office) will determine acceptance or rejection. You will be contacted within one week of the last interview. Interns and part-time employees are interviewed at the same level as full-time employees.

The number of interviews varies depending on the type of job and type of employment, ranging from 1 successful candidate out of 5 interviews to 1 successful candidate out of 100 interviews. The hiring process does not have a set timeframe, but rather a hiring process that continues until the desired candidate is found.

Resumes and other documents uploaded to Mogic's proprietary recruiting system are restricted to HR and interviewers only. Please be assured that all files will be automatically deleted once the interview is over.

Please allow approximately 1-2 months. After resumes and other documents are submitted, the selection process will take less than one week, the first interview will take 1-2 weeks, and if the position is permanent and there is a second interview, it will take another 1-2 weeks. If you are successful, you will be asked to confirm the final terms and conditions in an employment contract.

Because of our emphasis on teamwork, we do not work remotely for any position. We prefer candidates who can commute to our office in Shakujii, Nerima-ku, Tokyo. However, we do have the facilities and environment to work remotely at any time under emergency situations.

The flex system is used only for full-time employees. In the first place, interns and part-time employees can decide their own work days and hours, so it is not necessary. The core hours of the flex system are from 10:00 to 16:00, so they come in and leave the office at the end of that time, staggering back and forth between the two hours. The most common pattern is to arrive at work after 8:00 a.m. and leave at 5:00 p.m., or to arrive at 10:00 a.m. and leave at 7:00 p.m. In either case, most offices are staffed after 7:00 p.m. In any case, almost no one is working in the office after 7:00 p.m.

Since we are developing our own cloud services on a large scale, we do not request any outsourcing or temporary staffing for security reasons. All work is handled solely by employees working in the office.

Full-time employees are paid 20 hours of overtime for discretionary work, but they are paid even if they do not work overtime at all. Except in emergency situations, such as a breakdown, there is almost no need to work overtime; even one minute of overtime is immediately checked by the attendance system, which sends an automated email to the position holder the following morning. Similarly, interns and part-timers are rarely required to work overtime.

As a rule, we do not work on weekends or late at night. Only when there is a system failure, we may respond to it using the emergency contact network with the members of the relevant team, but this happens only once a year or so. In addition, if we have to work on a holiday once or twice a year at the request of a client, we recommend that the client take a compensatory day off within two weeks.

Unfortunately, no document exists as a manual to improve your work well. Instead, a work flow diagram has been designed so that you understand which process you are working in and for what purpose, and get on with your work. If you have any doubts at all, please ask around. No one will blame you for not being able to do your job right from the start.

We have people of all ages working here, from college students around 20 years old to people in their 50s. The majority of our employees are female, at nearly 70%. The percentage of employees raising children is the highest.

It varies by department, but engineers and designers who create services tend to use Macs, while business people tend to use Windows. Part-time employees use Windows. Both Mac/Windows computers can be chosen as there is a backup machine.

Casual attire is fine. Think of it as what you would normally wear walking around town on your day off. If you are concerned, please check the photos on the interview site KOMAODO: https://pr.mogic.jp/

It takes time and money to buy drinks and snacks. To make your stay at work as comfortable as possible, the company will provide those items. If you bring your own lunch box for lunch, you can spend the whole day without spending any money.

Lunch time is one hour from 12:00 pm in common for all. Some eat at their own table, some eat out, and some gather in the common space to eat. No one works during the lunch hour, but rather refreshes themselves for the full hour and then begins work in the afternoon. Sometimes an event is held at the end of the lunch break, and special sweets are distributed.

Several people, regardless of gender, have taken maternity or paternity leave to date. The right to do so is clearly stated in the employment regulations, and each department will adjust its structure to maximize the fulfillment of individual wishes based on past achievements. This applies regardless of whether you are a full-time employee, part-time employee, or intern.

If you are going to be absent, you will post the details in the attendance channel of our internal chat system. The supervisor will look at it and reply, but so far all requests have been approved as is. In the same way, if you need to take a day off for urgent business, you can simply post the details using a predetermined form and take a day off without having to wait for approval.

All project schedules are not tight, but are spacious. Therefore, a small amount of time off will have little impact. Even if you are absent for a long period of time, the information is shared with the entire team, so your supervisor, colleagues, or other team members will be able to follow up on your work as a whole.

As a general rule, you decide which day of the week you want to work, but you can change your work day only for certain weeks due to family events or schoolwork. There is no problem if you post your desired day on the attendance channel as well, and your supervisor will confirm it with you. Of course, you cannot change the day of the week without permission.
