Rakuten

The cafeteria provides 3 free meals a day.

Business is very varied, so there's likely something you are interested in.

An international, friendly office environment with many different nationalities.

Most people "kinda" speak some English.

A reasonable work-life balance (despite inflexible working hours).

Not really a tech company; all direction is controlled by the business side.

Below average salaries for engineers.

Very political environment, even at lower management levels.

No clear career path for senior technical employees except moving into pure management roles.

Pretty tight with money, they cheap out on tools or products that would probably improve developer productivity.

All-hands morning meeting at 8 AM on Mondays to worship the CEO.

Invest in engineering talent. A great engineer isn't 10% better than an awful one.

Don't try to do too many things at once.
