Dislikes
HRBP is a wasted Department. Mostly biased towards the serving Departmental heads(maybe because they are the ones funding their salary). So most times biased and leaks privileged conversations which leads to lot of chaos afterwards.
Slow implementation and weak decisio making which drags back innovators from expressing their best. But if you like a chilled life with decent work opportunities, Rakuten is a place to go....Read More

* Depends on team, but work life balance is good in most of the teams.
* Work location is center of the city with access to metro
Work-life balance - Good
Dislikes
* Indian management does not have much say in day to day work or appraisals.
* Pay is average
* Time is spent more on process rather than actual code and at the last moment after all the development the product might not go to production
* Japanese work culture, you are not appreciated even if you deliver above and beyond your role

It is good from the GCC side.
Skill development - Good
Dislikes
The work environment for folks in corporate functions and lower down the rung is not cared for. Some toxic folks in the higher rung create havoc and the rest either need to face the music, or are asked to leave.
People centric work culture is a farce.

Company culture was good but deteriorating gradually.
You can take a bit of flexibility in timings unless you have a meeting.
3 meals a day is provided on booking it a day prior.
Good team outing and people in general are quite approachable.
Some events are competitions are conducted like chess, foosball etc.
Free gym with instructor.
Washrooms are maintained well with sanitary pads for women.
Company culture - Good
Dislikes
Had toxic team leads and manager who weren't supportive.
Give hope to convert interns/trainee to full-time employees but will revoke it a lot citing budget issues.(Happens every year)
They have forced a lot of people to resign.
