Pros: - Free lunch - Decent work-life balance - Pay I have seen to be also good for a few folks - Good HR initiatives in terms of many sessions like mental health, workshops, and attempts at trainings, etc. - If someone is okay with joining a team and doing the work assigned irrespective of change in tech stack or direction, this organization is okay.

Cons: India wing, I'd say, is a glorified service company rather than a product company, where the goal is to cater to serving Rakuten's internal business. So, if someone is purely a technical person with ambitions to grow and upskill in tech, and other good product options are available, this org would not be recommended. There is very little intermobility within the org if you want to shift roles; it's very strongly controlled by managers. Depending on your team, if the kind of work changes from business, you might need to reskill. You might need to shift from developer to DevOps rather than be allowed to change teams, even after some time spent in the org. It might not be a good place for people with ambitions on tech growth. Do what you are asked, and you are good to go.

Pros: - Many opportunities (depends on business) - Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Cons: - Promote English as the official language, but intra-system communications and most daily work are still in Japanese. - The HR department is the worst. Liars, unprofessional, and take no responsibility for any mistakes they make. - Too many unusable middle managers, who have nowhere else to go and just enjoy doing nothing while taking credit for others' work. - The company treats the Business Unit a lot better than the Development Unit.

Pros: Good benefits and working hours.

Cons: Have to be at the office.
