Pros

A lot of smart people, from prestigious colleges and companies all around the world. Free breakfast and lunch friendly and cooperative colleagues some company events will never get fired even if you suck

Cons

Its hard to make new things happen, as there is so many people above you who doesn't have the time to take care of such things. Once you are in the position for more than a year and learnt what it is all about, its hard to visualize/imagine what you can/want to do next, (for the reason above, partially). Yes, it is up to you and your effort to make things happen but the environment isnt really there to help you keep up with your motivation. Thats probably one of the reasons why people leave very often.

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.
