Vantaggi
The people in Brighton are among the best I have ever worked with - smart, capable, motivated. There are many others across the business who are likewise good at what they do and great to work with. Our previous CEO Stuart Simms was brilliant (so of course they threw him overboard).
Svantaggi
The execs of Rakuten Global apparently think it's a good idea to change up the RM CEO every year, throw out a whole year of strategy and culture building and just start cutting jobs because they have no clear vision for what they want and no creativity when it comes to managing budgets other than to throw peoples' lives into chaos. I was warned before I joined that Rakuten Marketing has a bad reputation for constant redundancies and muddled mismanagement, and my experience has borne this out. The new CEO Nick Stamos inspires little more than for people to update their CVs.
