Cafeteria Cool: Rakuten’s San Mateo Office Eatery Gets an Upgrade One of the newest perks of working at Rakuten’s Crimson Campus in San Mateo is the updated cafeteria.

Meet Raluten Talent Acquisition: How does your work impact Rakuten’s mission? Our work in TA dramatically impacts Rakuten’s mission. The bottom line is that Rakuten’s mission and values are first and foremost, they’re on the back of our ID badges and close to our hearts, and so we have to be very thoughtful when we go out and recruit people to come to Rakuten to think about bringing people in who are going to be respectful, mindful, and driven by the values of the company. That’s how we advance the mission and make sure that we really understand the overarching values of Rakuten and then the nuances of the various flavors of the business and that we’re able to advance the culture by bringing in those who want to perpetuate that plan too. This is not easy to do in Silicon Valley where people can be focused on themselves, we drive the mission by bringing in people who are about the business – play for the shirt instead of for themselves. That’s how we move the mission, by helping identify the talent that believes in and buys into Rakuten’s values first at the core.
