Pros

Good work life balance, decent culture, kind employees

Cons

Company isn't growing, tech stack is not super current, feel like I've already built the same features multiple times now instead of truly innovating

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.
