Pros

Not much except for the new look of the office and free food

Cons

Highly political and too much of micromanagement company, there is no recognition for the hard workers and HR has got no powers they just follow the orders from C level leaders. Hikes and promotions is based only on your relationship with Managers. Most of the people are frustrated. stocks are not paid to all , neither the HR/finance ppl has no control or answer they all talk good English but not helping employees. culture of this company is pathetic , employees are forced to attend series of unwanted meetings/ tech talks .

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.
