Rakuten reviews

All the good reviews and comments you see with embellished words!! Well that’s simply their HR department themselves and forcing their employees to write it for them. Maybe Rakuten in a great company but the Bangalore branch is nothing but a garbage place for hard working people. If you are not good at nothing but knows how to butter the upper management and HRs you can make good money in exchange you can write good reviews too. They hire the worst managers and birds of same feather flock together even at HR dept. So yeah go on join this company if you wanted to be in politics and you liked snitching on your friends at school to be your teachers favourite. It’s the right place for dummies! Tip: Politics, boot licking will take you places in Rakuten. Worst company culture.

Unfortunately this company does not care about their employees. Turnover rate is high and after every 6 months (after evaluation) a lot of people will leave. Instead of fixing problems, HR is trying to brainwash their employees. 'Asakai' which is a propaganda event in company is mandatory for everyone. If you are not joining, you will get punished. Most of managers and some executives joined as new grads and were promoted to their current stage. They have no idea how to run business or their organization. They have no idea about leadership or how to motivate their employees. Culture is toxic and internal politics is stopping a lot of projects to be delivered in time. It is not rare when whole project is postponed and 'Partner staffs' laid off due to internal politics. Tech wise, company has a lot of legacy systems that are difficult to maintain. Troubles happen often and usually engineers (not managers) will get blamed.
