Pros

Cafeteria and Gym are okay. infra is good. pressure is very less. English speaking.

Cons

Not good for learning. A lot of people slacking off. Even though the company claims it but a lot of people can't speak English. A lot of people don't really know what they are working on. Very poor guidance for new grads

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.
