Pros: Freedom to choose technologies. Free beers at times. Work from home. Bamberg city is worth staying in for a while.

Cons: No clue what the goal of the company is. No idea on what, as a developer, you should do. Very bad management. Team leads or seniors are people with no experience (technically bad and management-wise very bad). Frustration starts after a few months.

Pros: I can't recall any of them.

Cons: Almost everything about this company is broken. Stay away as much as possible.

Pros: 1. Global exposure. 2. Build a talented team in India. 3. It's a collective effort that we've built a very diverse team in Rakuten India. 4. If nurtured properly, it has great potential. 5. Management is trying to cope with the situation, but it doesn't seem to be enough.

Cons: 1. Most of the IT hub in Bangalore lies in the other direction of the city, hence most of the IT population stays there. We need to understand that public transportation is not very effective in BLR for its own reasons. So, commuting to the office is a challenge for most employees. This is Rakuten India’s Achilles' heel. 2. Rakuten India is brittle; moreover, it’s in a state of resonance. If the frequency increases a little bit more, it will shatter. 3. The talented teams we have may dissolve rapidly. 4. People are losing motivation as there is a big void when it comes to whom to look up to. 5. The overall mood is very negative, which could be directed to positivity if the right things are done at the right time. But who should decide what is right?
