      A fun place to work while still getting things done

      Pros

      Since we're still a small, new company, there is a lot of freedom to improve, create new process, and be involved. There are lots of little perks like Costco runs, company events, and Monday meetings.

      Cons

      Since we're still a small, new company, there is a lot of freedom which can carry over to lack of accountability and responsibility.

      FreeCause trusts their employees and is an environment to which skills can be developed.

      Pros

      Employees are trusted. Employees are invested in - traveling, conferences, classes, etc. Free Food. Employees can expand their skills easily because there are a lot of projects to get involved in. Employees grow quickly because some members of upper management are great subject matter experts and invest their time in educating employees.

      Cons

      Young co-workers leads to an unproductive work environment at times. Developer driven company is risky and can, and sometimes does, lead to poor business decisions. Decisions are skewed towards what the parent company, Rakuten, would like rather than what's good for FreeCause. No investment in research.

      Pros

      - Free Food, Drinks - Hacker environment

      Cons

      - Can't think of any - Perhaps a quieter work environment, nothing that ear plugs can't solve.
