Pros

* Hiring has started up again and with that we are seeing promotions from within and general view of career progression again * This company is sitting on a unique opportunity as the only company with an amazing dataset in a world where data matters increasingly more every day. * Transparency is great. The last year was bumpy but I personally learned a lot about how a business thinks from this.

Cons

* Last year kinda sucked. As a result some people still carry some baggage. * The new office is great but the open atmosphere takes a lot of getting used to

Pros

During my tenure at Localytics, I worked with phenomenal people and learned much. My time there has been transformative. Folks are happy to share and talk; you must be fearless and ready to seek them out. Localytics, despite recent events (Jan 2016 layoff), still has many very talented people doing excellent and interesting work. Their people continues to be their best asset. They are using this layoff as an opportunity to recover from some unsteady growth, refocus on the customer and improve how different parts of the work together. If you're interested in Localytics, I'd encourage you to reach out to people (both leadership and people you'd be working with) and discuss any concerns directly and openly. In my experience, they are always happy to talk.

Cons

Management can micro manage and bikeshed. Localytics hires smart people and needs to trust their area experts and leaders to lead and communicate. Onboarding and professional development was weak during my tenure. If I hadn't joined when it was much smaller, I would have been harder for me to be successful. Being self-aware and knowing what your needs are and being able to communicate about them are the best way to navigate this. Teams tended to solve for the individual or the crew rather than the customer. In 2016, they renewed their focus on customer experience should help this.

Pros

- Everyone is smart and cares about the success of the business. - From what I saw, the company genuinely cares about its employees. After the layoffs happened, management made a sincere effort to ensure people landed on their feet. I was directly forwarded leads on jobs by the VP Eng and the CEO. - Management takes the concerns raised by employees seriously. I brought up a few and steps to address them were taken almost immediately. I have not seen that kind of responsiveness in any other place I've worked.

Cons

- Box-checking is definitely a thing for Product.
