Pros

International environment with lots of awesome people. Some managers probably aren't really global, but many of the foreign employees are. Not many Japanese employees are global.

Cons

When one person makes a mistake, everyone in the team has to take responsibility altogether which I didn't understand the most.

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.
