      Pros

      Work life balance. Facilities at Office (Tokyo) - Gym, Cafeteria. Exposure in terms of working with people of different nationalities.

      Cons

      Software development is a complete joke here. Rakuten is only and only a business driven company, run at the whim of Business Units, Tech division has next to no say in what, when and how to implement. Individual success is more dependent on office politics than actual merit.

      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.
