I have heard that foreigners are warmly received in Japan but then Japanese businesses may act more shady once they have you hired and in Japan. While I have mostly heard of this from people who work in Education I have also heard about it elsewhere in Japanese business.

While I would love to live and work in Japan and truly experience the language and culture I am honestly a bit worried about working with a two faced company who will leave me out to dry once I am there. Are my concerns valid? Even if it may only happen in 1 out of 100 cases, How do I ensure my employer will treat me right?

If most of their employees are Japanese and would likely report it online in Japanese and on Japanese websites how can I look up reviews of companies?

I don't recognize any of the companies you listed above as Video Production companies, which is where my major is, but I was wondering if you had any experience or advice for someone who does not have a college degree in one of the more common business immigrant majors, STEM, such as Computer Sciences and Engineering? I think making videos for a company would be great but all work outside of STEM seems to be Education when it comes to foreigners in Japan.

Edit: I mainly like working Narrative and Documentary jobs not necessarily advertisment
