Pros

Since many tasks fall outside the scope of the Job Description (JD), there are opportunities to learn a wide variety of things. Because everyone is dedicated to their duties and KPIs, it is easy to involve other departments when working on company-wide missions.

Cons

It is quite common for completely unrelated tasks to account for roughly 40 % 40% of the workload. It is not an environment where one can proactively build their own career path. There is a strong bias toward short-term KPIs, resulting in weak strategic thinking regarding mid-to-long-term goals and data-driven decision-making.

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.
