Combination of a very strong anchor to the office environment in the culture of work, hiring traditionally dominated by new grads who will of course move to wherever they’re assigned, lack of general belief that foreigners could be effective professionals at Japanese companies 等

surely, even in Japan people understand that specialists are hard to come by, and that freshers are rarely specialists in anything? do Japanese companies always brute force work by throwing warm bodies at it, or are there shops that only ever hire top talent?
