Thank you for your many years of service and for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear your impressions of Rakuten Kobo’s leadership team has wanned in recent years. We host weekly all-staff Town Halls for employees to receive the latest updates from our CEO to gain more insight into the company’s direction and new initiatives.
