Pros

Work life balance Free food for everyone

Cons

Silent and forced lay-off is happening Very late decision making No proper road map for product Managers are safe players here, it is hire and silently fire culture. Do not fall for their prey Soon after the product investment is stopped you will be kicked out. No global investments

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.
