Pros

Chilled out CEO. Office infrastructure is very good. Free lunch. Strategic location. Supportive co-workers (though I've interacted with very few)

Cons

No flexi timing. No clear understanding of the job. Lack of managerial expertise and management people. Total focus on technology. Very few leaves. HR policies archaic and not that employee friendly.

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.
