Good salary; you can make friends depending on your personality.
Tight deadlines, plus the need to work on many things that will burn you out before you think, but I have a good salary!
Speedy pace of work; it might not be good for everyone.
I had heard bad things about Rakuten. This was an interview for a contract position that had to be filled fast. Because of this, there were no silly tests, and everyone was very polite. But maybe this interview does not speak for the general case.
1. I talked with the HR manager. 2. I received an online test. 3. Interview with 2 managers and Tech lead. 4. Interview with the tech HR manager. That was a nice and positive experience for me.
Felt relatively disconnected and automated. I would ask clarifying questions about the purpose of a question, and just be told that's the way it is. Not a very good vibe for a software company, to be honest.
