I’m planning to switch jobs and I wanted to know how good Rakuten is. They recently offered me a job and before I accept it, I want to know how the culture and the company is. Any thoughts on this?
I interviewed with a Rakuten company. Cool culture, but TC offered was way too low. I wouldn’t have been able to bridge that gap.
Mind sharing the TC numbers you were offered?
It was awhile ago (>1.5 yr ago). I don’t remember, and I’m not even sure if I have it written down anymore (I usually take notes on that sort of stuff during those important conversations). But it would have been a pay cut. Salary would’ve been barely six figures, but I also had less experience at the time (~1.5 YOE at the time).
Too many negative comments in Glassdoor
No, stay away.
I'm at Rakuten in Tokyo. 20th year, TC 4.5m yen. If you're used to US salaries, be ready for a shock.
