01

Why I Joined

- What made you decide to join WeLearn?

Due to my husband’s job, we were planning to relocate, which led me to consider changing jobs. I received an offer through a job site, and the fully remote work style was a major deciding factor, especially since starting a new life in a new place felt uncertain.

02

My Work

- What kind of work are you currently involved in?

I work in the administration department, mainly supporting accounting as well as general affairs and labor management.

- What do you value most in your work?

Because we work fully remotely, I make a conscious effort to communicate proactively. In addition to messages, I schedule online meetings and occasionally meet in person, as building relationships is very important.

- What has been the most memorable experience in your work so far?

After my first company-wide meeting, I planned a social gathering and team-building activities. It was great to meet colleagues I don’t usually talk to, and seeing everyone enjoy themselves made me very happy. After that, work communication also became much smoother.

03

About WeLearn

- What makes WeLearn unique?

I’m currently raising a one-year-old daughter. With full remote work and flexible hours, I can respond to sudden daycare pickups or medical appointments. I was worried about balancing work and childcare after returning from parental leave, but thanks to understanding colleagues and this work style, I’m managing well.

- What are your colleagues like?

Many colleagues in both back-office and engineering roles come from different industries. The multinational environment allows for diverse perspectives, which I find very educational.

- How is your work–life balance?

With full remote and flexible work, I can balance household responsibilities and childcare without much stress. Not having a commute means I can move on to my next activity immediately after finishing work.

04

Message

- Finally, do you have a message for those considering joining WeLearn?

I believe this is a company that strongly supports employees who want to take on new challenges. Whether you want to build on your existing experience or explore a new field, this is a place where you can thrive. I’d love for you to at least have a conversation with us.
