I recently accepted an offer at Rakuten. I've already bought tickets to visit my parents for Christmas and planned for be there for about 2 weeks since oracle is fully remote. When I was in the hiring process, Rakuten hr mentioned hybrid for the bay area offices and now I'm wondering if I should reschedule my flights? Just wondering if anyone at Rakuten has any insight into which days we'd actually be getting off, and if being remote for those two weeks would be an issue?
Welcome to Rakuten… back to office is not until January…actually we have a week shutdown end of December
Can you help me buy stuff on Rakuten JP? It always asks for a Japanese credit card and address. 😔
TC?
God Rakuten PTO sucks you can’t go negative Lesson learned - always put your vacation as part of your offer negation
Which BU … usually you can go negative but need hr approval or something
I didn’t think it mattered. I work for Rakuten America’s under the marketing i believe. The handbook says no negative and doesn’t give a option
I’d suggest talking to the hiring manager. They will definitely accommodate your request and you can work remote. I think in terms of working hybrid, it totally depends on what days your team comes into work some teams do Tuesdays & Wednesdays but it’s better to check with the hiring manager.
Just speak to your manager!
Thanks! Definitely will
