Pros
1. Some good, smart people who are kind. 2. The streaming world is fascinating and growing exponentially.
Cons
1. Don’t count on your stock vesting. They laid off more than half of the company within the past year, many right before their stock vested. Additionally, they offered zero support to anyone on finding another job - it was cold, calculated, and nasty. 2. AppLovin management is awful and full of backstabbers. Wurl’s newly appointed (by AppLovin) senior leadership team has since adopted these tactics as well and are a miserable lot to interact with. 3. The products are suspect. There’s a ton of smoke and mirrors behind their metrics, and you’ll be lucky to get a consistent story from just two people in the company. This is why they’ve offloaded their core (read money-making) business to their biggest competitor and doubled down on the one product that will feed AppLovin new clients. 4. You are a cog. Do what you are told and no more or you’ll get a target on you. 5. There’s zero work-life balance. Additionally, if you encounter any sort of personal strife that may interrupt your workday (death, injury, disaster, etc), do not expect any sympathy from leadership and do not even tell them what you’re going through or you’ll be viewed as weak and ineffective.
