      Pros

      One of the most internationalized Japanese companies in Japan. Fairly renowned household name in Japan. Good first experience in Japan.

      Cons

      Business-driven. Not a technology company. Leadership is fairly unsatisfactory. Corporate culture mostly based on deflection of responsibilities. Exploration is not encouraged and failure is punished.

      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.
