Haitan No.3: What's the experience of working in Lotte, Japan?

In such a big company in Japan, I have always stayed away from Lotte because I have had several unpleasant experiences.

First of all, the page of Lotte Market is really ugly and makes people angry. I want to close the page every minute after opening it. The search filtering function is extremely difficult to understand, and the baby page is simpler! There will be a pile of mail on the next order! So, I usually use Amazon to buy online. Although Amazon is not much better. . .

Then, I applied for Lotte's credit card, but it was rejected. Although this is not the reason for Lotte in the final analysis, the credit card with the lowest threshold should naturally be more generous.

Finally, Lotte's email is really annoying, even more annoying than Yahoo. I must have checked something I shouldn't have checked, but I really didn't have the courage to open the page and found that the check was cancelled, so I blacklisted it directly.

This time, I finally got in touch with this classmate who works in Lotte. I planned to do a good job in company investigation and present an in-depth interview, but I still fell into a bottomless pit of "God's annoyance".

Let me show you the whole picture of Zhang Letian Group's services. (intercepted by official website)

Get to the point-|||||

Therefore, I decided not to have any depth in this interview.

I'm lazy. I'm a Virgo. For whatever reason, the topic of this interview is superficial Zhihu style.

Yan Hao

Lotte data engineer

This is his timeline.

2065438+Graduated from Computer College of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics with a master's degree in March 2004.

20/kloc-joined the data science department of lotte co., ltd.

As usual, it was a short chat. Yim Ho and I met in a cafe outside Nantah, and we had a serious interview. Later, I declared myself happy for him, but my resume failed. Later, he went to Lotte official website to submit his resume and got the offer. Yes, you are right, that's all. For this matter, I also specially wrote an email to boss, and the result was of course nothing. I deleted Yan from my list of references. It's over. To sum up, Lotte official website has a global recruitment entrance, so it can vote by itself without any intermediary. Good luck.

Hello, my name is Yim Ho. Now he is a data engineer of Lotte Corporation in Japan.

Male, love football, especially Masami Nagasawa, Alamuyouyi and Ryoko Hirosue. |(￣3￣)|

Pisces boys like to travel and go to small towns far away from the city. I have been to the highlands of Nagano Prefecture, and I will never forget it.

Lotte is a very big company. . .

//See (; ? _? )

Different departments, teams and working atmosphere vary greatly.

Personally, I can score 8 points.

//If you are afraid of the pride of the leader, you must deduct 2 points less!

Lotte has its own member canteen. Eat and drink three meals for free.

There are dishes from all over the world. Of course, Japanese cuisine is the main food, and there are also China cuisines such as Mapo Tofu, jiaozi and steamed dumplings. There are fish, pork chops, soba noodles, curry and pasta almost every day.

I felt fresh when I first went there, so I can score 8 points. If you eat too much, you will feel many kinds, but the taste is actually quite single. I still miss my Chinese food very much.

The canteen is on the 9th and 22nd floors of the company. Downstairs is Yuchuan, and you can see Mount Fuji directly. The scenery is first class.

I cook by myself, serve noodles and stir-fry a dish. It's not complete if it's complicated, as long as I can eat.

I usually have dinner with my colleagues, two or three times a month, which is not expensive.

In short, I have never been particularly worried about eating.

All tables are liftable. That is, you can work or have a meeting standing up at any time.

The computer configuration is also good, and the monitor can be applied at will.

I have a desktop and applied for a Mac Pro. Usually I only use my Mac to connect the monitor on my desktop as a dual-screen display.

//It seems a little ordinary. .

There are massage, acupuncture, haircut, fitness and supermarket in the building.

It's a pity that you have to pay for all this. But the price will be cheaper than outside.

There is no legendary game room, but you can exercise, bathe and sleep in the gym.

My department is called Data Science Department.

Mainly responsible for data science platform construction and data analysis.

The technology is more complicated. The development languages are java, python, ruby, scala and so on. Data science will use platforms such as hadoop, hive, spark and teradata. Most of them are mainstream solutions.

However, I think Lotte needs more efforts in data technology (>

Most teams adopt agile development process.

Sprint is a unit, and there is a planning meeting every week, which lists the tasks, evaluations and tasks for next week, divided into 0.5- 1 day.

There will be a short meeting every morning to share the previous day's work and today's plan.

At the end of each sprint, there will be a meeting to report last week's work progress and KPT tips.

The working hours stipulated by the company are 9:00- 17:30. There are also departments that work flexibly.

Overtime depends on people. Of course, I will work overtime when I publish it. Theoretically, there is overtime pay beyond 40 hours. However, you need to apply (◎ _ ◎; ), and no one in our group applies for these, even if someone works overtime to 10 all the year round, they will not apply for overtime pay. Need to apply for weekend attendance, 1.5 times the salary.

Managers are usually the busiest. Team members mainly look at output and don't care too much about your work style.

Our department shouldn't be late for work, but if you are late, let me know. Just don't leave early after work.

//This is really not (T▽T)

The communication between our departments is mainly in English, supplemented by Japanese and Chinese.

There is no obstacle to English communication, and meetings and emails are also in English.

English is the official language. There are many foreigners in Lotte. Of course, the ratio of English to foreigners varies greatly from department to department.

Is Japanese English ok? (/.\)?

Many Japanese have overseas study background, and their English is very authentic! !

There are also some people who speak Japanese fluently, but with a Japanese accent (t д t).

Besides Japanese and general English, American and Lotte can also hear French, German, Russian and Curry (つд? )

I can speak Japanese English fluently now.

//I feel cute (? _? )

This is because when you open a shop on Lotte, all product pages need to be designed by the merchants themselves! ! !

Lotte has some basic components. But most content pages need to be defined by themselves.

Most businesses teach themselves html before writing. When you go to the bookstore, you will often see some books that teach you how to open a shop on Lotte. . .

Amateur level really can't guarantee the effect. As above (/. \)

Some exotic merchants think that many pages can attract customers for a long time, so a product page has been scrolled for dozens of screens and no purchase button has been found. True story! (/。 \)

Of course, Lotte is also aware of this problem. //Spit too much. . .

Efforts are being made to change this situation. For example, do some abtest and speak with data to help businesses optimize their interfaces. Or provide some simple templates.

Some businesses are still well designed.

Lotte has its own global recruitment website and can vote at any time. English

/Company/Occupation/Engineering/# R&D

According to whether it is fresh or not, it is divided into just graduated and mid-career. There is no Japanese demand.

The process is usually:

Online application-> Resume screening-> Online interview-> Interview1->; ..-& gt； Interview n (the number of rounds is uncertain)-> final audit

Generally, global hr sends resumes to all departments, and all departments screen resumes, arrange online written interview and decide.

Interviews have different preferences according to different interviewers. And I will ask you about your skills and personal experience according to the contents of your resume. At that time, I was concerned about java and linux, such as the usage of sed and awk. Quite ordinary technology, I feel that compared with the interview of domestic internet companies, the inquiry is more basic and regular.

Let's advertise for the company. ||||||

Lotte's building is called Crimson House.

1-27 floors are all lotte's offices, and the Dongji Hotel is further up.

There are many beautiful women, of course, "girls from other departments". That's so beautiful! ! Welcome everyone to join me!
