-Free meals -Latest stack and technologies -training opportunities for high performers -abroad visits for high performers -two bonuses and increments for high performers

Cons

-bad mid management -money driven business company -not an IT company -your teams performance is judged by money your product or service earned and performance of manager -no roams for new ideas, business analyst is god, business unit drives technology unit, even allocate budgets -no accountability of business unit and group or section managers, once you reached this level, then you are really earning great money without doing much -money mongering CEO and higher management, everything in company is drives with how much money you earned this year and previous year

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.
