Rakuten Work Experiences

Good People, Toxic Culture
Software Developer • Former Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
December 11, 2019
Pros: Location and free food, maybe. And very, very few genuinely good people.
Cons: Toxicity everywhere. The passion you bring with you dies quicker than your hope of ever working on what you love. Freshers are discouraged from jumping into the domains of their passion and are told to just fill up any vacancies present. And the most toxic HR you will ever see; they are so self-pompous and ignorant. HR was the worst part of this company.

A bunch of idiots are trying to control everything like slaves and masters.
They hire and fire people.
If you are not from Germany, the rules are different for everyone.
