Pros

Free Lunch coupon In cafeteria, coffee vending machine will be there, you can take the coffee with free of cost.

Cons

Management very bad. No cab/transport facility. Fake promise by HR. Very few carrier opportunity. There is no value for skills. Management wants cheap labors. Lot of conditions on leave policy. Keep changing HR polices as Management wish. Micro Management.

Pros

Horrible unhygienic food and some benefits with conditions. So ya basically nothing

Cons

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.
