Ventajas

Opportunity to learn new technologies, but they seem to be gambling too much by only using newer technologies. NoSQL + Node.js + Buzzword bull. They seem to be more concerned with buzzword compliance that using proven technologies.

Desventajas

They claim to have more than 20 million subscribers, but with their platforms being essentially legal adware/spyware tools, most of the subscribers are not acquired voluntarily. One assumes most of Freecause.com’s subscribers don’t even acknowledge what Freecause is, who their clients and sponsors are, or that they are individually subscribed to a marketing list created by Freecause, which is used to strictly create revenue streams for third parties (and of course themselves), via annoying, malicious tools. Seems to be run by a CTO that has unresolved childhood issues where he must feel authoritative. That may work in other countries, but this is the US.

Ventajas

Rakuten Rewards has great life balance. Too bad the economy was getting rocked.

Desventajas

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.
