Pros

Free Lunch

Good support for diverse communities

Cons

Low salary. Misleading and pointless reviews. Promotions mean absolutely nothing. Brain drain at work with no real strategic direction. Try to be a global company but still a very Japanese company.

Advice to Management

Increase salaries for all staff that is fair to the market.

Speed, speed, speed is a principle in Rakuten, but sometimes going too fast, you will crash.

With this, many teams are doing duplicate tasks before understanding the strategy as a whole, and this makes people's work useless in the end.
