Rakuten reviews

Stock price plumetting when the rest of the industry is soaring. Employees are treated as disposable. Japanese management is ok with underpaying for employees. The result of course is many underskilled emloyees. The rest of the reviews don't lie on glassdoor. Current employees read the reviews and joke how true they are. Out of touch with technology, the company still thinks cloud technology is a fad. The US business relies on affiliate a dying industry. The CEO had collected 3rd string tech companies and proped them up to pretend to have a US presence. One of the main products Slice/Unroll.me reads your Gmail inbox to analyse data and is sold to partners. There's a whole team of employees who are trying to trick users to give access to their inboxes.

Where to start? They force their Japanese culture on all their global companies. Their CEO directly told every employee "If you don't like how I run the business, then leave". Not open to any input from the employees on any subject. Only cares about profits and power. Senior management scandals happen all the time. So monolithic that various teams are literally working in the opposite direction constantly, causing confusion to others.
