Pros

The people are very friendly and fun to chat with. The managers pay attention to what you do all day and show their appreciation for the work you put in. There is always someone willing to help if you need it. Processes are clearly laid out and easy to follow. There is great job prospects, career growth and line managers will put you forward for roles they think you would be good at. The training programs are very good and post-training support is even better. The company feels like it is going places, and has the data to back up the claim. There is always something new to learn and you won't get bored doing the same things over and over again. The London office is in a great location and is not short of facilities for lunch time or evening fun.

Cons

A minority of departments lean more to the reactive than proactive work ethic but this is changing, slowly. The lifts keep breaking so sometimes you have to use the stairs. High level management tend to keep to themselves and their immediate subordinates. Due to the processes in place, simple changes can take time to complete and harder changes can sometimes carry on for months. Office politics have at times been handled unproffesionally.

Pros

Great Pay, Flexible shift and ability to telecommute. Solid fun team oriented company. Truly the work hard, play hard company. Awesome SLT. The CEO is a bull that knows what he wants and how to effectively get it done.

Cons

No stock Offerings. No true bonus structure. You must be selected on a quarterly basis for a possible $500 bonus. Lack of written process and procedures.

Pros

Mblox acquired the small start-up company I worked at in mid-2014. I felt support from the executive team for our product and go-to-market strategy and embraced by the Mblox sales team, who made concerted effort to quickly become knowledgeable on our product offering, reach out to potential customers and drive sales. I appreciated their flexible telecommuting policy.

Cons

Although our original team of developers worked independently from the rest of the organization, there were times when we needed support from the Mblox engineering and developer teams. Getting their attention was often difficult. However, I believe that was primarily due to those teams being extremely busy on a large and complicated top-priority initiative. Multiple locations in different time zones and countries made communication and coordination difficult at times. I definitely had the sense that Mblox was coming out of a difficult period, from the previous year or two before I joined, when many employees left and the headquarters moved from Silicon Valley to Atlanta. Roles and communication were not as organized as they should be, but I saw substantial progress during my time at the company and left feeling like things were moving in a positive direction.
