Not a company, visa service - Information Security Rakuten Employee Review

Pros

Some people mention a free meal like a pro.

Cons

Salary is deep below the market level, and every recruiter in Tokyo knows that. It will be surprising for you when you decide to look for a new job. Appraisal and bonuses do not relate to your performance, only to your manager loyalty and time, you spent in the company. Most tasks and goals of the information security department are not related to company business. Other departments and teams avoid dealing with information security at all cost, even management, including the CTO level. Turnover of people in the information security department is more than 50%, the average time of work is less than one year (except the managers, that guys will seat forever) Crowds are everywhere in the office, even double queue in the restrooms.

Pros

Rakuten Rewards has great life balance. Too bad the economy was getting rocked.

Cons

Don't really have any cons. I understand that the market's been hard so had to downsize the force, so that was kinda challenging. Hopefully AI will increase everyone's output.
