Pros

Bright people from all over the world. Interesting business vision. Fairly high salary for a new glad. Enables you to handle your own projects/clients from early stages of your career.

Cons

Company atmosphere is very Japanese if you are working on the domestic side. Work in a very small team; if your manager does not like you, you might have tough times. Englishnization under much difficulty.

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.
