Pros

Good opportunity to travel abroad.

Cons

The company lacks the quality of a tech company. The focus is on quantity and the quality of code is pretty bad. The management has a very short sighted vision to increase the head count in India office and therefore they compromise the hiring standards. It could have been a much better place to work if the hiring quality was not compromised.

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.
