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

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.
