Pros

some good and smart people; employees generally happy to be there; excessive amounts of free candy and free soda (a huge perk, right? that'll put at least a few pounds on you!); people believe in the mission (to a surprising degree) and management and others involved in the overall operation of the company tried hard

Cons

Unfortunately I can't get into too many specifics. I'm pretty sure they hired at least a few Sr. Managers that probably knew their stuff well, but lacked the people skills necessary to be genuine respected by their employees (that's sort of important). I think they've probably gone as far as they can with their products, though their mobile apps seem to be popular. If I'm wrong, more power to them. A friend who was one of their engineers complained of constant wake up calls in the middle of the night. As he put it "the network needs serious help." It did seem like the IT people were frequently scrambling.

Pros

Working at Groundtruth/WeatherBug has helped me reach personal goals in my career and work on interesting problems, and provide me with opportunity to gain experience for my next goals. The culture promotes collaboration and ownership and is in an industry that I really love. Weather patterns are fascinating.

Cons

Some teams don’t always have long term stability and have contributed features or results that didn’t really pan out, or have turned into tech debt to paid down.
