Pros

The only reason I like working at Rakuten is my team and the people I work with.

Cons

Way to controlling with computer software for "security." Interruptions are constant; threats and a "do what you are told" attitude are not helpful. The bureaucracy is ridiculous. It's hard to get anything done timely.

Advice to Management

Maybe trust your employees more to update their machines and software themselves. Forcing restarts and blurred screens is petty and shows just how much trust is given to employees.
