Pros

Start-up culture has so much good - the pace, the promise, and so many of the people, but, start-ups cannot operate in a world where the C-Suite create their own moral compass. The C-Suite at App Annie sadly lives in a 'pre-Susan Fowler' world where they behave however they want, and it's HR's job to make sure everyone falls in-line.

Cons

During my tenure this C-Suite settled so many issues involving sexual harassment, hostile work environment, and ‘performance-based’ dismissals - always with non-disparagement and confidentiality agreements, preventing each person from speaking out, and a cash-offer it’s hard to turn down when you’re early in your career and living in an expensive city. And this pattern, unfortunately, continues to repeat. While I no longer work there, I feel like we all have to decide when enough is enough. I’ve now seen, heard and experienced enough. I'd recommend you consider alternatives before taking an offer here.

Pros

- Great engineering talent, true ML/AI experts - The hardest working sales team I've ever seen - #dreamteam - Rockstar CS team who handled the most difficult clients imaginable. - Platform was powered by very hard to acquire data. No easy feat to collect the data in a ever changing environment. - Company events (when we had them) were always "Premium" - Overall compensation was very competitive

Cons

- Poor CEO leadership and vision. Ted was incredibly disappointing, I would not recommend him any capacity. - Final M&A motion was extremely disappointing. Nothing like seeing your equity going to $0 overnight. Total kick in the b@lls. - Product Roadmap was driven by vanity metrics and KPIs. CPO didn't drive the roadmap with revenue and TAM expansion in mind.
