Pros

I've been with Cheetah Ad Platform for just over a year, and I've learned what it really means to grow a team globally. Working in San Francisco, Paris, and Beijing has been an amazing experience. I've been able to have meaningful discussions with all the senior staff and know that they actually care. Not just the "yeah yeah yeah" you get from other companies. While, yes, every company has challenges - our team faces these challenges head-on and makes it happen. We are very supportive, nurturing, and open about any issues. We help each other, we talk, we have lunches together, we travel together. I came from a similar role in a different industry and the world of mobile is ever-evolving - which presents opportunities to learn; new technologies, new points of view on how to handle an issue or challenge. (And in some cases, the opportunity and desire to learn bits and pieces of new languages.) Lots of moving pieces. It's actually fun, in my opinion, to gain an insight into other teams and how they impact our revenue, interact with our clients and partners. I've never been part of such a cool organization. I'm glad I made the decision to further myself and my career by coming to Cheetah Ad Platform.

Cons

Sore face from laughing at our office jester? (I can't say his name, but he's awesome too!) I can't say there are true "cons" to working here. There are challenges, yes. Expect to work hard, but not because anyone tells you to, but because you WANT to. And just like with any other companies, you have some quirky people to work with - but that makes it fun.

Unorganized and Worst Company to Work For

Pros

Free lunch, chance for international trips

Cons

The company is structured in a way where the president is competing against the CEO so you have teams that basically have the same roles except one is the US and the other is in Asia. Basically youre left to compete against your own company and because rival teams are constantly visiting the US office, you're left to cover and be secretive about your work. Management also has no direction. There's no clear objective and there are lots of psychological games being played against employees between management. Overall just feels like a bunch of employees stepping on each other. Definitely the worst company I have ever worked for.
