Pros: Good pay, relaxed culture, frequent catered meals, friendly, welcoming people, top-of-the-line benefits, good bosses, nice location, work-provided laptop.

Cons: Weekly meetings with the whole company are not very pertinent to me. That's imposed by corporate in Japan. Challenging industry. If Rakuten stops innovating and adapting, things could go south quickly, but I think we're on the right track.

Pros: - meals - scale - work-life balance - easy gateway to Japan

Cons: - Managers push everything down, expecting perfection. - Managers don't guide, just expect. Once given a result, they're unsatisfied because it doesn't match their expectation, while they never made it clear. - I believe I have seen some minor power harassment incidents. - Strictly work, no casual talk, nothing. Terrible team bonding. Once, after WFH started, I had to be taken to the ER, and the manager just texted back, "Ok."

Pros: Good learning scope for freshers. Chance to learn new tech stacks. Friendly atmosphere.

Cons: Let's leave. Work-life balance is not that good.
