Pros

It served as a good experience to work for a corporate company.

Cons

It’s very difficult to increase your salary and climb the career ladder. The approval chain is quite long and there might be a lot of delay when making changes. Most of the decisions rely on the Business side.

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.
