* 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
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
Delayed promotions and sometimes managers purposely delay it

They take good care of employees, but would not recommend to work in Rakuten Securities to anyone.
Dislikes
Salary is bad and though they say it's product based, all the decisions are made by Japan team and the managers here only go by the feedback they receive from Japan.
So it's more like a services based organization. There is resource billing which happens
