Pros

Free food and decent benefits

Cons

Where do I begin! First, I would give negative stars if I could. The finance department is the worst, it’s a revolving door. They micro-manage everything you do. If you’re not Asian you’re beneath management. Surprise the entire management team is Asian. They will gather in a corner and talk about you in their language, right in front of you. How unprofessional! One of the director’s is a complete imbecile, has no idea what should be done but wants to tell you how to do your job! They watch your comings and going’s. They want you to work 10 to 12 hours a day and if you don’t, they will pull you aside and scold you like a child. All the while, they take 2 hour lunches, leave early and attend company gatherings. They say we could not attend the gatherings as their is work to do! They yell at you out in the open and tell you, all you do is make mistakes! What a TERRIBLE work environment! Stay away, you’ve been warned. People who start end up quitting within 90 days!

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.
