Big data in the payment business that the company owns has been operated for 20 years.
Net Protections Inc. have more than 100 million payment and purchase data accumulated through the operation of “NP Postpaid”, “atone” and other services. This is unique data that only Net Protections possesses, and it is distinct from existing credit information.

There is unique credit big data that can’t be found anywhere else, and the expanding area is infinite. And the opportunities to create businesses using this unique data are available to everyone. This is the greatest strength of Net Protections’ business.
To be a flat organization – Internal systems created by ourselves
Net Protections Inc. believe that an environment in which all employees can work with vitality and ease will maximize the productivity of each individual, which in turn will lead to individual growth and ultimately to the growth of the company.
In addition, the internal systems are flat and fair, and aim to create internal systems that are conceived by everyone, rather than by a few employees.
For example, the company have the 360-degree evaluation system, which aims for a multifaceted evaluation system with no distortions, and the working group system, which allows each individual to raise their hand and take on the challenge of a task that they feel passionate about in 20% of the work time, while maintaining the main task.
Environment where anyone can grow
There is absolutely no difference in job opportunities or evaluations between men and women, and opportunities are equal.
For example, depending on your achievements and motivation for things, you may be assigned as a manager with growth expectations as early as your second year. At Net Protections Inc., everyone’s thoughts and feelings at work are respected, so the manager’s task is to facilitate the thoughts and feelings of the members rather than pulling them along.
In addition, all employees regularly submit their career visions in the form of “vision sheets,” which are shared with the rest of the company and are actively reflected in any transfers. As a result, some employees are able to take on the challenge of a different work field and broaden their horizons.
Active foreign human resources
Net Protections, Inc. is active in accepting human resources from overseas, and many foreigners are active.

About the application form
The main recruitment criteria are the following items.
Logicality: Are you able to write with logic?
Thinking horizontally: Can you think from a wide range of perspectives?
Essence orientation: Do you have an attitude of trying to find the essence of things?
The contents of the company application form may be more unique than those of other companies. It’s more like an essay for a university AO exam than something you write for job hunting. Why do Net Protections Inc. do this? Because the company places the importance on “thinking. The company would like to work with people who enjoy thinking about things that have no right or wrong answer.
If you value thinking, it is difficult to be identified only by school achievements. Even if you haven’t had any particularly unusual experiences, you can still “think” in the most casual of ways!
“Why does a watch tick off one second without deviation?”
“Why can’t we operate a smartphone with gloves on?”
Net Protection Inc. don’t want to judge you only by what you have experienced in the past, rather, the company wants to value how you “think” and what kind of mind you have and what you find fun in. The company is not looking for the right answer, so feel free to enjoy writing whatever you want.
