Pros

Wide range of services Company benefits Global Encourages everyone to use English Pros totally depends on what team you're assigned to

Cons

Too many organization changes. Management cannot make up their mind. They test out different things on their employees not thinking about the impact. Expect to have atleast 2 organization changes per year. Different process for each team. Expect to use 2 or 3 different tools that does the exact same thing. Changing teams will also introduce new tools that only that team uses. Usually your manager doesn't even know you which is a major cause of demotivated employees.

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.
