Pros

- 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!!

Cons

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

Pros

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

Cons

- 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

Rakuten Interactive Response

Thanks for the great review! As we become more mature and organized, there will be individual responsibilities and swimming lanes. We'll try to keep the culture "startup-y" as we scale up. Sorry about the early morning Rakuten Group meetings!
