Pros

FreeCause understands and encourages a balance between personal life and work life, and it does its best to merge the two with company outings, after-work drinks, delicious catered lunches, great holiday parties, and a fun atmosphere in the office. In addition, the work is exciting, the people are young, and everyone here works hard. FreeCause is a great environment to work in.

Cons

Not too much interaction between departments.
