Reviews about "low salary"
Return to all Reviews- 4.0Aug 22, 2020Software EngineerFormer Employee, more than 3 yearsTokyo
Pros
- Lots of opportunities to grow. - Great experience in a very diverse and international environment. - Not really difficult to move within the group company so you can diversify your experience into different industries (such as Fintech, mobile, e-commerce etc.) and functions.
Cons
- Salaries aren't too bad but could be improved a bit compared to other companies. - Your experience may vary and depend upon the team you join, ranging from amazing to bad. This is a usual problem with any company this big and diversified, so not exactly a Rakuten specific one.
