Pros

Solid company, good wlb (work an average day every day never overtime), firmly entrenched in the tech field

Cons

Leadership seems to be declining, lots of good people leaving, low Opportunity to excel and be rewarded for it. I was forced to give myself 3 out of 5 on nearly all performance review metrics.

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.
