Pros: Usually pays better than what the average says here on Glassdoor. Good working culture. Lots of company events. Everybody minds their own business at work, but nobody is afraid of asking questions.

Cons: There have been layoffs. It kills the mood. Work is hard.

Pros: Good exposure to Cloud Technologies

Cons: No competitive salary. No onsite opportunities for Indian employees. Loss-making company. Lots of politics.

Pros: Free Food Diversity; Lots of good people.

Cons: HR will not be helpful at all, so don't go back to them for anything other than documents. They are not there to help you fix your working environment or give you advice. If they do, the only advice they'll give you is: "Talk to your manager," who you can't talk to, which is why you spoke to HR in the first place. Go figure. Englishnization is a hoax. People won't bother to use English, and to be honest, a high TOEIC score is the only thing that some people get (which does not imply that they can speak the language properly). The company is huge, so get used to people you know passing you by as if you don't exist, just because they're too busy to say hi. Not worth your time; look somewhere else. Note: Avoid these following branches, for they are Japanese to the core: * Rakuten Bank * Rakuten Card * Rakuten Edy * Advertising * Rakuten Insurance Company Archaic frameworks that have not been updated for God knows how many years. Don't try making any suggestions; this is not a democracy.
