      depending on the kind of work/product you get to work on. some teams have extreme politics where even the VP holds no power if the engineering manager has contacts in Japan.

      Cons

      hike cycle is bad. politics at its peaks.

      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.
