Pros

The only reason I like working at Rakuten is my team and the people I work with.

Cons

Way to controlling with computer software for "security". Interruptions constantly, threats and "do what you are told" attitude is not helpful. The bureaucracy is ridiculous, It's hard to get anything done timely.

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.
