Pros

Very open minded people. (Depends on your team. If foreigners, you will have a great time. If traditional Japanese, you might have a hard time here) You can try new things and make your presence felt.

Cons

Average compensation. Middle level management is not that strong. CEO is visionary. Attrition rate of good developers is high.

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.
