Pros

Mobile devices + automobiles = large, growing market

Cons

Selling a dongle to connect in your OBD port? Not sure it makes sense. Automatic is going after a small subset of what could have been a huge market. Mediocre management. Little upside even in the case of sale.

Pros

The atmosphere, the openness and the genuine kindness of my co-workers is great. I feel like I can ask anyone anything.

Cons

It's a startup so things can change very quickly. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but you do have keep on your toes and pay attention.

Pros

Open & friendly environment. Very down to earth people, most with a good sense of humor who are high on capability and low on ego. A lot of understanding for demands of personal life & family. People here work hard and push towards deadlines but there's no competitive culture of staying late at the office for the sake of staying late like so many tech startups. Absolutely no "Bro" culture. Open vacation policy. Get to work on an exciting product that is blazing trails and leading the pack. A lot of care & compassion for customers. The company believes in doing right by customers. There's an environment for open & ongoing conversations about culture, diversity & gender equality. A lot of women here for a tech company and they command and are given respect. Lots of perks like free lunch twice a week, free dinner every week night for those who need it, chair massage, yoga, free parking, etc. Very generous health benefits. Lots of company wide social events and fun. The CEO tries to be very transparent and open about finances and always updates the company on funding news. Well behaved dogs in the office.

Cons

Need more women in executive positions / leadership. Focus & priorities have shifted several times over the last year, causing a lot of anxiety & some frustration. This seems to have settled down now and it feels like everyone is aligned and clear on larger goals.
