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.

Cuthroat environment. Most of the other managers micromanaged and put unrealistic deadlines while asking you to train other employees.
