      Pros

      Free lunch is nice. The location (Shinagawa seaside) is very convenient. Salary standard is relatively high. Depending on the division you will belong to, they have pretty nice automated testing environment.

      Cons

      For younger engineers, I can't recommend Rakuten. Because their education system is pretty unorganized. If you have just graduated from a university, and would become an excellent programmer, Rakuten isn't the best choice.

      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.
