Frustrating and Disappointing - Senior Software Engineer Rakuten Employee Review

Almost all of the tech management is egocentric. Tasks given are short, specific, and rare. Ideas are 'desired' but the end result is they are all ignored. Making a real impact on the business is near impossible. There is no test environment or any notion of QA. Business decisions are made without customer facing employees around. Sitting at your desk is important, but having work to do is not. If you are looking for a challenge, fast paced environment, or a place where outsider opinion is valued I would suggest moving on.
