Pros

Free food, but the quality is not good

Cons

- company treated you like a kindergarten students, not giving u any place to speak your opinion. For example asakai as an indicator for promotion. Once a week is enough but some people have to attend twice a week. You cannot get promotion if you skip because you'll be labelled as "lazy and not motivated", in fact a lot of people come there but sleep and not paying attention. So for the management, people who come but not paying attention and just sleep or play with devices deserve promotions compared to people who skip the meeting but actually working harder

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.
