Pros

Great people, fun office environment, & interesting product/service. Your suggestions and opinions get heard all they way to the top, and everyone';s contributions are valued and appreciated.

Cons

Because FreeCause is a small yet dedicated team, the workload is pretty big and there is little downtime (not necessarily bad). Often have to petition for priority in queue.
