How we do things
We are a family of diverse people sharing a common goal.
At Rakuten, we celebrate the fact that we are a single global company that transcends ethnic, gender and geographical borders.
In Tokyo alone, we have people from over 70+ countries and regions contributing to projects and sharing their viewpoints and experiences.
By positively embracing diversity, we encourage fresh perspectives and discover new business opportunities and strategies.
Support for our global community includes everything from daycare centers for working parents to the adoption of English as a common language and open spaces that foster free communication. To us, every wall inside the office is a whiteboard!
We think of ourselves as a new kind of family, one based not on chance but on determination to be the brightest and the best. New employees are guided by colleagues who ensure we hit the ground running and are always there to pick us up when we stumble. (And we all stumble from time to time!)
One thing’s for sure. We make the most of every second!

No mail mornings
Sometimes I need a breather from my inbox. So it’s great that PriceMinister in Paris has “no mail mornings” where internal emails are banned.
-
Global moves
I love that Rakuten gives me opportunities to travel. We all share the same global workstyle so I can fit right into any office anywhere in the world.
-
Share the mood
I wanted to congratulate a colleague in another office for the great work they did. Since we use Viber internally, I could send them a sticker straight away.
-
Ideas rule
I love an environment that encourages creativity. To us, every wall inside the office is a whiteboard, so every meeting is a chance for me to get my ideas across.
-
Our world is flat
Everyone at Rakuten is approachable. Often I am able to catch our executives for a quick chat. Recently I spoke with Mickey – it was a great moment.

Batting ideas
Desk work is overrated. At Slice Technologies, we do our best brainstorming over ping pong.
-
Chill-out zone
When I need to change it up, I take my laptop, grab a coffee and move to my favorite sofa.
-
Let’s get together
We have cool open spaces where our team can huddle and catch up with each other.
-
Window on the world
All meeting rooms have videoconference facilities, so we can easily connect with other offices.
Our stories
Listen to our employees tell you why they’re here.
Take the tour
A culture where your voice matters and you play as hard as you work.
Have fun!
For us it’s much more than work.

From robot building to salsa dancing, from wine tasting to tennis tournaments, we enjoy spending our free time together.

Refresh
We’ve got on-site gyms, relaxation spaces and yoga classes to reenergize ourselves.
