Ups and Downs
Ups and Downs
I am fortunate enough to be in a department that is made up mostly of foreigners. As a result, my daily work environment is much like a Western company. I have earned the right to work without a manager looking over my shoulder and the freedom to somewhat choose the projects that I want to work on.
Rakuten is very much a Japanese company with offices around the world. It has a very top-down management style, where everything comes from the CEO or upper management, with very little ability to push back with differing opinions.
