Limited career growth opportunities - Avis employé Product Manager Rakuten

There are too many organizational layers, career growth paths are limited. Japanese language proficiency is usually required. Working in 'Rakuten Way' is expected, some managers tend to micromanage. Too many unnecessary reporting lines. Daily huddles, weekly email reports, and one-on-one meetings with managers are common. Weekly team reporting meetings often cover the same topics (though this varies by department).
