Pros

Free food for three meals

Cons

The company has a ton of Japanese old-timers who resist change. First off it’s not a global company. Meetings are done in Japanese when Japanese people outnumber non-Japanese. Japanese employees have little to no sense of what it means to work on a global scale. Asakai needs to end.

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.
