Pros: 1. Latest technology 2. Lot of learning 3. Pro team members 4. Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner 5. Travel costs reimbursed, depending on distance 6. Very helpful and active HRs 7. Can change teams after certain months 8. Pretty transparent work culture 9. Lucky to work in the Digital team, where team members and the manager supported every stage 10. On-site opportunity 11. Work-from-home option

Cons: 1. Not much transparency in the evolution and promotion process. 2. Mandatory Monday morning meeting (Asakai)

Pros: 1. You will be working with cutting-edge stuff. 2. Build something innovative on a personal level and present it to management. I have seen employees' POCs become well-recognized products. 3. Before Rakuten, I had never seen a company where a manager leaves their lunch when a team member calls for a code review. 4. They try to follow Agile, but not truly. 5. There are short-term onsite opportunities, and if you stay long, you may get long-term ones as well. 6. Perks are above standard, and of course, there is free lunch and healthy breakfasts. 7. The company has a large-scale business and big plans, so there is no job insecurity. 8. Leaders are supportive and motivating.

Cons: 1. The company follows Japanese culture, which means it gives its best but expects the best. Sometimes it takes a while to understand the meaning of best. 2. Punctuality is key. If you can't be committed and punctual, don't join this company. 3. No drinks at parties.

Pros: I am working under a good manager. He has good future plans and is giving enough opportunities for our personal growth.

Cons: Apart from my team, I think there are a lot of other teams who are suffering due to lack of decision-making ability of managers and higher-level managers. The Accounts section is the worst part.
