Most regressive company and death trap to Early career - werkgeversreview Senior Engineer bij Rakuten

--> The list is long and hence listing the few --> Allround talent and software development skills are very low --> Some folks who don't know how to build a service sit in Japan and dictate what needs to be created etc., --> Mostly run by Japs with 10+ yrs in company with zero skills. They work 10+ hours to prevent any improvement/change --> I saw some bright/young employees but they are forced to do brain-dead work --> Most managers and senior folks kill their time from 9am to 6 pm, just moving from 1 room to other room for meetings. There is no need to work for many of them --> They hire PJMs and Product Managers and make them do very menial and meaningless work In a nutshell, Rakuten in Asia and Japan claims as a Global company but they are not. If one works for more 1 yrs, a true death trap that you can't get a job elsewhere and hence had to leave in a hurry. It is mostly a matter of time that this company could degenerate but for the Japanese protective policy and some smart eggs in the top. Except for global CFO and CIO, everyone else in Exec line almost consistently make no sense.
