Pros

japanese teams are highly cooperative very process oriented open culture in both bangalore and japan teams got to learn lots of new technologies being in the development team. my team lead was very good on mobile technology stack

Cons

all of top management is new here lacks ethics and integrity my manager told me they are forcing ppl to write good reviews online. for every _ve review you will see 3-4 +ve reviews that are coming. no long term thinking. hire ppl and then think where to make them work much of new staff is pulling in from new management's older companies due to lay offs or company closure

Pros

Strong CEO, well organized and executed businesses. Great weekly all hands communications. High growth and profitable, constant improvements. Great benefits and perks. Solid parent company and CEO, in Rakuten. Good people.

Cons

Engineering work load is usually high on my team so you have to prioritize and sometimes skip out on long term efficiencies for the sake of short term goals. Need time for personal R&D. Perception wise, not sure if everyone is contributing their max effort and time consistently.
