Pros

Truly industry leading technology, solutions, and implementations. FreedomPay provides a full range of technology/solutions from embedded programs on devices, SDK's, custom integrations, web services, proxies, all the way to state of the art web applications and mobile components. Mostly Microsoft stack, but includes C, C++, Android and iOS development. Latest Visual Studio, .Net, SQL versions. Cool continuous integration movement, heavy investment in automated testing with custom frameworks and various tools. Many folks will work directly with the many Fortune 100 clients and their engineers on many complex integrations and solution challenges. Over the last 2-3 years the management has changed for the better, culture has changed, company has doubled in size, and the teams are very collaborative, with top talent. The company's growth is crazy and will continue as it expands throughout the U.S. and internationally. FreedomPay is careful with who they hire to ensure a strong entrepreneur type culture, talented teammates, and a strong aptitude fit. While it's hard work (always more work than we can do) it's very rewarding. Pay is well above average including a commission sharing pool, incentives, catered lunches, giveaways, etc. Benefits are strong, two health plans to choose from, one with a low deductible and an HSA plan with company contributions. Company is investing heavily into moving to a premier office building in downtown Philly with tons of perks. Company has a great business plan with partner reselling, sticky integrations, and always expanding the service offerings. FreedomPay is crushing the competition.

Cons

With strong growth comes growing pains. This includes process changes, organization build out with role clarity changes, communication streamlining, etc. Fast paced high energy environment may not work for everyone. Always more work than can do in a day, but this is a good problem to have. Most folks put in 45-50 hours consistently to ensure speed to market and we hit deadlines. Always tons to learn so people must have a strong aptitude, very detail oriented, self driven, and can juggle multiple things simultaneously and be comfortable in that space. If you are not a fit, you won't last long as FreedomPay is a very driven company with no time for complacency.

Pros

One of the biggest advantages of working at FreedomPay is the opportunity for career growth. Over the years, I've been promoted multiple times, which speaks to how FreedomPay recognizes and rewards strong performance. It's a fast paced and dynamic environment, where pivots are often necessary. It means work is exciting and ensures you're always learning. The people here are hardworking, committed and deeply collaborative, making FreedomPay a motivating place to build a career.

Cons

The flip side of opportunity is that they have to be earned. This isn't a place where promotions happen because you've been here the longest; FreedomPay is genuinely a meritocracy. It may not be the right fit for someone looking for a slow pace with a lot of downtime.

Pros

My team was great, I loved my direct manger and director. I knew that they always had my back and they made sure we weren't bogged down with upper management drama. We had a lot of autonomy and freedom to complete work as we saw fit/what worked for us personally. They have a generous mat leave policy- you don't have to be at the company for a certain amount of time before you qualify and good work life balance culture. Good benefits and a quarterly company wide bonus structure that was incentivizing.

Cons

Departments are very siloed, making hard to collaborate. There is no formal review process, which can make it difficult to move up as you have no company measurements to go by.
