Pros

Good food, maybe travel to Japan

Cons

soul crushing, borderline harassment from mediocre managers. Rampant nepotism. Zero attention to innovation and creativity, they talk about diversity but they really don't care. Your boss is allowed to sabotage your work.

Pros

Rakuten Rewards has great life balance. Too bad the economy was getting rocked.

Cons

Don't really have any cons. I understand that the market's been hard so had to downsize the force, so that was kinda challenging. Hopefully AI will increase everyone's output.
