Rakuten

Good office location. Free meals. WFH policy. Recently improved insurance policies. HR and policies have improved a lot recently. Culture is fine, but it's going bad. Lots of tech stacks used, good to learn new things. Some new work in cutting-edge tech has been promised for India.

New management lately has raised lots of questions among employees. The open culture is no more; it's a disconnected world. Project Managers/Program Managers decide your hike, not Tech Managers/Leads, so your efforts towards work may go in vain. There's no proper coordination between Japan and India, making peers take a step back from shelling out new projects. Bad hikes for such a big e-commerce company. There are chances your tech knowledge and skills are overshadowed by people with other kinds of political skills.

• Trust and believe in employees, old and new.
• Treat everyone equally.
• The ground reality is different; come down and take a look.
