Pros

1. People are nice here. 2. No much politics, everyone is passionate in their work.

Cons

1. The career promotion paths are rigid, you have nice salary adjustments, but not much chance to promote fast in terms of position. 2. Training and Learning resources are scarce, we need a waiting list, and some rare skills are not available in the training site subscriptions.

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.
