Pros

Strong CEO, well organized and executed businesses. Great weekly all hands communications. High growth and profitable, constant improvements. Great benefits and perks. Solid parent company and CEO, in Rakuten. Good people.

Cons

Engineering work load is usually high on my team so you have to prioritize and sometimes skip out on long term efficiencies for the sake of short term goals. Need time for personal R&D. Perception wise, not sure if everyone is contributing their max effort and time consistently.

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.
