Pros

Project can bring real business value.

Cons

Sometimes you just cannot get time to fix a bug, the reason is "because we have to do business".... But when things runs into issue, you still need to use your own time to do on call to fix it.

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.
