Pros

The people I worked with where fantastic and you used to get a lot of perks.

Cons

Rakuten took over the company I worked for and now lets just say that it is sadly no more. Sadly the Japanese work ethic does not work in England and rather than telling the big boss man this he was just surrounded by nodding dogs if you like. He should have taken the time to listen to his actual UK employees and changed the way they work to accommodate the UK industry. Was a great company before the take over.

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.
