      Pros

      Still a competitor - with a unique but comparable technology - in an online space that has come to be dominated by Google and Amazon.

      Cons

      With the departure of the founders and original top management, after buyout by a Japanese firm, management objectives and metrics are increasingly opaque. Salaries remain near the bottom of the market, and loyalty is not rewarded.

      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.
