Rakuten

• City Center
• Free food (no good quality)
• No work (work-life balance is good)
• You can learn politics here

There are a number of cons, some of which are listed here.

1. Highly political and too much micromanagement.
2. There is no recognition for hard workers. HR has no powers; they just follow orders from C-level leaders.
3. Hikes and promotions are based only on your relationship with managers (connections are very important).
4. Most people are frustrated.
5. Stocks are not paid to all.
6. Neither HR nor finance personnel have control or answers. They all speak good English but do not help employees.
7. No career development.
8. Only maintenance projects.
9. Too much is taken to decide on adopting new technology because managers do not want to be given options.
10. Management is crap. They just arrange parties for Japan visitors and have a photo booth for marketing themselves.
11. No future thinking – a plain service company with no actual development.

To get promoted, no need to work. Just improve your show-off or connection skills and speak the same language as management.

1. Please don't hire if you don't have roles.

Please don't hire if you don't have roles.

HR is more focused on getting good reviews rather than working for employee betterment.

Stop giving fake promises and fake Glassdoor reviews.
