Pros

The product was interesting for a time, but then the market caught up and location data became commoditized. Sometimes the company does interesting work and solves complicated problems. The benefits are decent.

Cons

There have been multiple rounds of layoffs. It seems like the company missed the boat on getting acquired and really overshot on their expectations. My sense is that they are struggling and aren't really sure how to course correct.
