Hello, I am a university student studying in Japan currently and am doing job hunting here. I have received an offer from Rakuten mobile (as a software engineer) as well as several other offers from other smaller IT companies as well. I am highly debating whether to join Rakuten Mobile purely due to the many benefits that they offer (eg: high salary \[in comparison to other companies I have offers from; 5mill yen annually\], 3 free meals a day). I have done research on this company in both English and Japanese, and I have seen mixed (mostly negative) reviews. I know that it is pretty common for a company to have mixed reviews as everyone has different experiences but the negative reviews I have seen about this company are a little too concerning to just chalk it up to that. If you have any relevant experiences, may I ask how bad/good the company actually is in terms of work hours, ethic and the overall atmosphere in the IT sector? I greatly appreciate any advice/comments that anyone has regarding this matter.
