If you are a workaholic and love to learn about many new businesses and people, Rakuten is a good fit, as the company is growing fast.
It is hiring more and more talented foreigners who will be an important part in changing the company into a great global one.

Many teams here are still domestic and too traditional, with too much top-down structure. You will feel good only when you are in a global team, but will feel the worst and want to quit right away in a domestic one.
