Pros

I came to Phunware having no professional mobile experience, and was given the opportunity to self teach and become a senior level developer. The learning experience alone makes working at Phunware a worthwhile opportunity. - Foosball table - Ping pong table - Free snacks - Phun-coworkers - Cool brand names like The CW, NFL, CBS

Cons

It's a software engineering job, so it shares all of the cons that any software engineering job would have. - Occasionally long hours - Challenging tasks - Demanding clients
