Process
I was selected for the interview round but didn't get an interview call.
They didn't even contact me, and I didn't get to give the interview.
I think they should have at least checked my skills with an interview.

Worst place I have ever worked
Software Developer • Former Employee
Bamberg, Bavaria, Germany
June 5, 2018
Pros: If you are good in politics, your life would be easy in Rakuten Germany. This is the only pro there.
Cons: Too much politics.
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.
Very low salary and no benefits for the employees.
People just join the company and leave.

Below average level of Software Engineering
Software Developer • Current Employee
Tokyo, Japan
June 16, 2017
Pros: Work-life balance.
Facilities at the office (Tokyo):
* Gym
* Cafeteria
Exposure in terms of working with people of different nationalities.
Cons: Software development is a complete joke here.
Rakuten is only a business-driven company, run at the whim of Business Units. The Tech division has next to no say in what, when, and how to implement.
Individual success is more dependent on office politics than actual merit.
