A job I look forward to every day - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Rakuten Interactive

- Very supportive environment, team-oriented & great colleagues - Work is interesting and incredibly engaging - Never a dull day in the office, surpassed what I honestly expected coming in - Leadership is smart and driven, and that mentality carries over to the team - In my time here, I've learned so much from on-the-job experience, its been very challenging yet rewarding at the same time - Everyone I've interacted with in the office has been welcoming and there's no hesitation to help out - Pool & ping pong tables - Free lunch & breakfast!!

- high-pressure, results-driven startup so naturally work-life balance isn't amazing, but it comes with the territory

This is the company's 1st internal startup/incubation effort, and it is a very hard and demanding mission. - Small team gets to learn how to build a new company from scratch, while leveraging the resources of Rakuten Group - CEO works extremely long hours, is reachable at all times, takes time to mentor every employee - Culture of self-direction, performance, frugality, 0 politics, and diversity of all backgrounds - Starting at the ground floor, roles and rank have a high possibility of being accelerated - Everyday is different. Literally. You may be doing sales one day or making hoodies for the team - Lots of milestones and goals, especially international growth - Mature, supportive advisors who roll up their sleeves to do interviewing, operations - Travel opportunities between New York and San Francisco if that's what you like

- The hours are/will be long--this is not going to change as operations ramp up - Being new, it doesn't have all the perks and support system that a McKinsey would have - All flights are economy class, T&E is low and tightly controlled as "runway" - Have to conform with parent group, Rakuten, Inc. most of the time, such as attending the global Asakai (morning meetings) - Do not join if you're not looking for a challenge
