Pros

People are generally nice in the office. LinkShare does offer work/life balance if you have the right manager. There are a lot of employees who do try to make LinkShare a better company.

Cons

Many mangers don't know how to manage. They often delegate work to one to three hardworking team members while allowing others to coast by with little work. Many issues arise from bad decisions made from leaders who don't know what they are doing.

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.
