Pros

- Food - Diversity of People and Culture

Cons

- No assignment of work based on skillset. Just requirement, and anybody with generic experience can onboard - Middle Level to Top Manager completely involved in Politics in promotions, bonus, favour for favour, hiring favours etc. - Middle level people from low grade companies experience and colleges. - Indian Managers are worst to work with. All above applies very much to them. - No HR support or any actions on any kind of exploitations like Overtime without pay, Weekend Work, and any kind of compliance is not followed in terms of labour law.

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.
