Pros

free lunch, big name everyone knows your company

Cons

-HR pretty much lied to new grads such as englishnization. (It is a Japanese company and most foreigners are leaving because they are very disappointed. 90% of people don't speak English... -Poor top management. Managers are bunch of amateurs. -operational tasks, new grad tasks and foreigners are not being respected. -30 man for starting looks high and don't really increase after that. Don't really have much benefits. (Birthday party, baseball tickets discounts are totally useless, can't count those as benefits.

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.
