      Pros

      You get to work with other smart people and potentially see a company through an exit. You get to meet well-connected people in the tech industry.

      Cons

      It's like every other startup. There's a lot of talk about "hustle" and "being real," but when you get down to it, it's all about money and making the investors happy. The people who work there, no matter how many years they've put in, are a means to an end. Promises are never kept, and people will get fired a week after they get a bonus. Employees almost never receive a raise, even to keep pace with standard of living. As long as you like to gamble and are prepared to work hard with no promise of reward, you can thrive there.

      With the continued upwards trajectory of revenue and an organization chalk full of driven individuals, we agree with you that exciting times are upon us at Vungle. As with most startups in Silicon Valley experiencing rapid growth comes some growing pains, and we are sorry to hear that you feel the way that you do. Our CEO, and all of our executives have an open door policy specifically for this reason. They encourage all employees to come to them with questions, comments, or suggestions. Thank you for taking the time to give us some feedback. We really do appreciate it!

      It's a growing company in a fast changing industry so things can change and become a bit hectic at times which might not be for everyone

      Pros

      Low ego and collaborative culture. Being proactive will help you get ahead here. From my experience, hard work goes noticed as does humility. There is a lot of opportunity here but, in line with the title, being ambitious and proactive is a key to capitalizing on that opportunity. Since working here I've seen a shift in focus, specifically around product, towards disrupting the big players in mobile advertising. Things may have seemed stagnant from a product perspective some time ago, but the company was experiencing rapid, organic growth. This isn't unique to Vungle but I'm glad it is being addressed. Overall, the culture, opportunity, company trajectory, and collaborative is great here. Typical start up perks include catered lunches, lunch stipend on non-catered days, commuting reimbursement, snacks/food/beer/wine/etc, and gym reimbursement. Pretty impressive for a company of this size.

      Cons

      Lack of maturity with middle management with respect to professional experience. This isn't to say middle managers are immature, but relatively early in their careers' for the position that they're in. This also doesn't go for everyone, but in certain departments there are people who are still figuring out their path that could be replaced with someone who could add much more value. Some higher level managers/VPs seem to get too caught up in the weeds but that is expected in a business at this stage. Another con would be the lack of data quality & knowledge of legacy systems. For a company this young, obtaining clean data shouldn't be such a struggle. Finally, the ambiguity around high level strategy from top management is somewhat discomforting. I'm confident it doesn't mean bad news but some more transparency would be appreciated.
