Pros

If you have performing arts experience, you may come out on top in the political theater game.

Cons

Incompetent senior leadership that are both technically and morally lacking. Stale product that increasingly is falling behind competitors. Execs are dumping resources into AI and other pet projects that completely fail to deliver results.

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.
