What motivated you to enter the company?

There are two main reasons:
1. The company's goals were clear and straightforward.
I had the impression that consulting firms generally had hard work content, and despite their outward appearances, I thought they might be disappointing companies when we actually look inside.
However, I was surprised that VC openly expressed their desire to change the bad habits of the consulting industry, overturn common sense, and create something if it doesn't exist.
The fact that they put this at the forefront made me simply interested, thinking they must have very confident measures.
2. Attracted to a company that boldly aims to be the best in the world.
When I researched VC and had interviews, I felt it was a company with great vitality and momentum.
I thought it would be more interesting to be at a company aiming to become the best in the world rather than an already established global top company.
The idea of experiencing the company's growth and contributing my labor to that cause excited me.

What is your current job?

I'm currently responsible for risk-based approach reviewing for system implementation at a major bank.
The reviewing process will vary depending on the scale and complexity of the system, but there are set times for reviewing when investment policies are being decided, when detailed design is being started, when test plans are being made, and before release, and the review will be carried out in line with a huge number of review perspectives. If any risks are found, the review will compile a list of recommendations and track whether or not they have been implemented by the deadline.
I need to complete a report for one review within 10 days, which can be challenging when dealing with extensive review materials or complex systems.
This role constantly tests my reading comprehension, insight, and ability to create logical reports, and I believe it's a perfect fit for the experience and knowledge I've gained over the years in system implementation.
The workplace is full of seasoned professionals with diverse experiences, which is very stimulating.
Having various people means having various perspectives, including those who offer sharp insights from completely different angles than my own experience. Thanks to this, I feel excited every day. Although I still feel I have much to learn, I find my work very fulfilling.

What are Vision Consulting's strengths?

There are two main strengths:
1. Conclusion-first approach
We always communicate with a conclusion-first approach among employees.
For example, emails to employees are unified with the policy of stating the conclusion at the beginning.
This allows busy employees to quickly prioritize instructions by checking the first sentence.
This habit of always putting the conclusion first serves as a natural skill-up training for employees, both for those writing and reading.
2. Constant awareness of the credo
VC requires us to always be conscious of the 13 credos.
From new employee training to individual evaluations, it's necessary to always keep the 13 credos in mind while acting.
I believe that practicing this every time leads to skill improvements in consultant behavior, mindset changes, and output capabilities

For Job Seekers.

If you're tired of the bad habits in consulting, please consider switching to VC.
Also, if you have no experience in consulting and are wondering whether or not to take the plunge and try a consulting company, I would encourage you to give it a try.
Now might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness VC becoming the world's best right before your eyes.
Let's grow to be the world's best together.
