Pros

Nothing much great to mention here apart from free food and few free biscuits in pantry.

Cons

Worst and sick senior management you will ever experience. HR team is good for nothing folks. Management only want shoe licking people. Current new senior Management is getting all the new people from his own reference. All the flipkart's fired and waste people are hired in Rakuten India now days. All the non-productive, unskilled managers fired by Flipkart are now days been hired in Rakuten India. And these waste byproducts are further spoiling the company culture and working environment. Senior Management is asking or you can forcing their managers to write false positive reviews in Glassdoor and put all the sugar coated reviews about them. The office is full of bureaucracy and hypocrites. Advice to all the Software Engineers: - Please don't join this company until and unless you are die'ing out of hunger because if you join this company you end up crying tears full of blood & regrets and you will not learn anything new apart from shoe licking of your boss.

Pros

Rakuten Rewards has great life balance. Too bad the economy was getting rocked.

Cons

Don't really have any cons. I understand that the market's been hard so had to downsize the force, so that was kinda challenging. Hopefully AI will increase everyone's output.
