Well it's a massive company so of course there is variation in it's groups but I know NTT Data does cool stuff from time to time, contributes to postgres and I love them for that.
No idea what the rest of the company is like, but innovation is somewaht hard to come by in Japan, so it's reasonable to expect most companies to not really be pushing the envelope. Ironically, NTT contributing to a no-bullshit rock-solid open source tool like Postgres is par for the course -- it's great that they're pushing innovations inside Postgres, but technically from an outside lens it's a conservative place to invest.
