[Global Employee Interviews]
■ What was the deciding factor for joining WITS?
・I felt attracted to the point that I could grow while utilizing my skills in a global environment.
・I was also drawn to the warm atmosphere felt during the interview and the corporate culture that supports taking on challenges.
■ Please tell us what you think are the attractive points of the company.
・There is a culture that respects each individual employee, providing an open environment where it is easy to express opinions.
・I also feel it is attractive that global employees have equal opportunities for growth.

[Voice of Currently Active Engineers]
"Ability to grow regardless of age or gender"
At WITS, employees can state opinions frankly regardless of age, gender, or position. Additionally, as long as an employee possesses appropriate capabilities and motivation, young staff are given authority as leaders or sub-leaders, making it a workplace with many opportunities to grow.

"Comfortable working environment and work-life balance"
Overtime depends on the project site, but it is not long. Except during peak busy periods, taking time off such as paid leave is easy. Compared to the IT industry as a whole, WITS has a relatively high proportion of female employees, reflecting women's input to create a comfortable working environment.

"An environment that supports growth"
Recently, senior employees have been voluntarily organizing regular weekend study sessions on programming and project management for younger employees. Younger employees also actively participate in these study sessions to acquire skills and knowledge. For people looking to grow, it is a great corporate culture. I am also very inspired by it.
