Pros

Great lunch & some friendly people. The office is new and nicely designed. They encourage carrier development.

Cons

Their culture is toxic. Some corporate staff treats the employees without respect. Being shout at is the norm there. The executives seem to receive the rather high salaries, but the average employees are paid lower salary than the market price.

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.
