Pros

A great working atmosphere between colleagues. Morale is low, but the politics between workers is minimal. Fast paced environment, with good cross-team support.

Cons

Senior management is not confident. No trust of middle management or workforce. Productivity metrics are invasive and hamper productivity. Sales commission structure is a disincentive. Cost cutting to the extreme makes morale bad and it is getting worse.

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.
