Good place for first job with no prior experience - Software Engineer bei Rakuten: Mitarbeiterbewertung

You will not be promoted within the first 12 months (no matter how good you are) Way too many projects are outsourced, so employees often has nothing to work on! In some departments not knowing Japanese will be a big issue (even though official language is English) Terrible evaluation system which is not based on your achievements and technical skills as an engineer Engineers and non-engineers get paid the same amount based on the grade in company! Salary increase is too low when your grade increases As a foreigner I was treated horribly by Japanese managers
