Pros

If you want to work with ownership and get a global exposure then this is a great place to be in. People who take self initiative to improve and get things done will succeed here. Others will suffer and take a plunge.

Cons

Not much employee benefits but the situation is slowly improving. Do not come here if you are looking for great benefits. It will take decades to get there.

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.
