Pros

Good culture. Good place to work. Great perks

Cons

Salaries are on lower end, as compared to market. Declining benefits. Management is not very interested in your personal growth. Mid year/yearly reviews are only one way, and most of the time your bonus is decided by higher management in your team, which sometimes leads to favoritism

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.
