      Pros

      Nice location and reasonably good office. Free breakfast and lunch once in a week. Friendly crowd in general.

      Cons

      No clue what is the right thing to do there. Agile process they follow is a ruse. There is a big brother team in Tokyo which shadows all decision making. Very arrogant managers. Of course life is a party for them. Quality is a funny word. Everything is about quantity. Small team, low salary, overloaded with work.

      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.
