Pros

Young/hip environment with lots of friendly people and well known clients. Great place to learn about the exciting space of mobile business. All you can eat fresh fruit and packaged snacks and coffee.

Cons

Sadly not much collaboration across business units therefore very reactive as a company. Lacks formal structure and processes - no HR dept and no performance reviews. Training and strategic account planning is basically non-existent. Because mobile technology is 24/7 there doesn't seem to be a balance for work/life. High turnover as a result. Average stay is 0-2 years.

Pros

The organizational culture is exceptional—the Head of Human Resources genuinely cares about employees, and the VP of Sales stands out as one of the most honest and thoughtful leaders I've encountered. The company strikes a great balance in size: it's small enough that leadership in Marketing, Finance, and Legal are consistently accessible via email, yet large enough that someone is always available to handle urgent issues across time zones. Even though the organization operates fully remotely, teamwork is seamless, and unnecessary meetings are minimized, making work efficient and focused. Senior management is experienced, but also young enough to be trusted with navigating the rapid changes coming to technology in the next five years.

Cons

The organization strongly prioritizes efficiency, meaning company perks such as retreats, swag, and merchandise are minimal. Because the team is highly skilled, new hires must be prepared to hit the ground running to succeed. Additionally, the relatively flat, egalitarian structure might not appeal to individuals accustomed to the hierarchical ranking systems common at FAANG companies.
