Rakuten Marketing - Great place to work

Pros

People succeed here if they want to. People who give poor reviews of this company are either: 1. Not willing to figure out how to do the job correctly so they will never succeed anywhere they go or 2. An individual who will never be happy at any company because the company will never be doing enough for them. I left Rakuten Marketing for a little bit of time and then came back. I was in the second group of individuals. After seeing how other employers treated their employees, I was thrilled when Rakuten asked if I’d come back. This is a great place to work and if you can succeed here, you can succeed in any large corporation.

Cons

Most cons are similar to what you see across all Ad Tech, you have a lot of change and almost consistent learning that then needs to be unlearned as you learn something else new. The particular office I work in can be negative towards other employees(specifically in other locations). It can create a toxic environment of negativity and cultivates animosity towards certain individuals in the other offices.
