Pros

-The opportunity is yours for the taking here. Come in, work hard and prove yourself and the sky's the limit -Minimal red tape. Localytics is extremely agile and if you have a good idea you can pitch it and run with it -Autonomy to do your work. You feel empowered to make decisions and test out new things. There are very few micro-managers (at least on my team) -No startup is perfect at this, but the exec team tries to be really transparent -Flexible and excellent work/life balance. As long as you get your work done and continue to perform at a high level Localytics is really laid back about WFH and vacation time (there's unlimited vacation which is cool) -The people make Localytics what it is. They're incredibly smart and talented but also fun. Just great people in general who like to work hard/play hard -We've been know to throw a good party (or 10)

Cons

-It's a startup. You're along for the ride. If you can't handle that it can be a bumpy one at times, I'd advise you not to work at any startup. -Some teams have some managerial issues to work out

Pros

+ Generally friendly workplace, can be a little clique-y on some teams, but overall, people here are easy to get along with. + Can't speak to the other departments, but engineering hires very well. Coworkers are all very smart, capable people who are bullish on improvements, care deeply about their craft, and don't settle for stupid hacks. + The work is both challenging and interesting. + People actually care about tech debt here. + The work environment is relaxing and offers generous vacation time (untracked) and work from home policies. + Management encourages a culture of openness and transparency that while not perfect, at least makes you feel comfortable voicing your opinion. Whether anything comes out of that probably varies by manager, but my managers are all good folk so I don't worry about that =).

Cons

- If you work here you gotta be capable of giving yourself direction and making/clarifying important decisions on your own because management sometimes drops the ball by throwing out half finished requirements and expects you to fill in the blanks. I'm probably making it sound worse than it actually is, but regardless you gotta be a go-getter. - There is a major lack of communication between departments and this hurts product focus among other things and is pretty much the reason for the consistent annoyance of direction and scope changes for feature work and why the product can't always get the improvements it needs. - No matching 401K. - Free lunch is provided on Tuesdays, not Fridays. I know the complaint is petty, but I can't get over it.
