Pros
  • The work is incredibly impactful. Hearing stories from our users about how we helped them with crash detection is very rewarding, and you can't get that at very many other places.

  • Strong recent leadership hires. With top-brass CTO, Mobile and Back-end leadership, I have been finding no shortage of mentorship opportunities. And this is building trust with leadership that we are going to a more diverse, effective team.

  • Massive scale and interesting tech. Our servers handle something like 6.1 billion API requests every day, and we have best-in-class location and driving technology on iOS and Android platforms.

Cons
  • As others have mentioned, recent company indecisiveness is real. The vision is strong (Facebook for Families), strategy is sound, but in the last few months there have been a lot of direction shifts. This can wear on the team. That said, we are moving in the right direction and things are starting to feel more stable.

  • Cramped office space. Every employee gets a sit-stand desk which is great, but with all the recent hiring we are starting to feel congested.
