Volkswagen Group of Japan Purchasing Internship

Pros

Get to live in Japan Respectful Colleges Job offer likely with successful internship No drug test Paid(Most internships in Japan are unpaid or extremely low-paid compared) They will find you housing if you work/live in Toyohashi.

Cons

Will not be given any meaningful work or work at all. Most of the day in spent day dreaming. HR and payroll is not transparent at all and attempts to conceal information from you. Extremely boring and worthless internship unless, you want to experience living in Japan. Almost all other interns will be people that major in Asian Studies with no knowledge on Business or Economics/the automotive industry. No "native" English speakers, most employees 98% of employees are either German or Japanese. So, if your Japanese is not very good, it will be a difficult experience. Toyohashi is an extremely boring part of Japan and if given the option, goto Tokyo. Although, your salary will not go very far in Tokyo. It will be 100% better than frequenting the same 3 bars that close at 11pm every weekend.

Pros

Really good products and people who are completely committed to the brand despite not all being well below the surface. Good pay and conditions but terrible location.

Cons

The company desperately wants to grow at all costs ....at all costs! The attitude is that anything is able to be overcome with money and that means all resources are funnelled into paying for discounting cars or pushing more and more equipment into them to make them appealing enough to overcome buyer resistance to issues that are surfacing about quality and reliability. Staff turnover is high in some departments due to very poor management.
