Pros

very supportive, very educational, very friendly. The best first post-undergrad job experience I could have hoped for, and the company is growing lik crazy now!

Cons

Long hours, and very strange leadership roles. At the time not very international, but I perceive that this has improved dramatically.

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.
