Pros

- I left App Annie and returned to App Annie, and there's been quite a few other returnees. This says something about App Annie, when hindsight plays a role in career choice - Company is now in expansion mode. we're hiring! - There's also been much progression/transition over the years. we've seen BD managers become country directors, directors becoming MD, country managers heading into product, SDRs becoming CSM, CSMs heading into marketing and product, sales managers heading into sales ops, office managers taking on Salesforce/Marketo etc, lots of opportunity to move and learn across roles and regions - As the dominant market leader, everyone in the industry knows the brand and product. You'd get a lot of "oh we look at App Annie every day" when you meet new people at industry conferences. This means a lot for sales. The product is also easy to explain, although closing sales takes much more than that. - Very proud of the company's achievement in Asia. APAC currently accounts for 40% of the Annual Recurring Revenue(40% Americas, 20% EMEAR). - Free lunch is actually quite a thing

Cons

- App Annie has been very dominant in the mobile/internet/tech verticals, and now we are expanding our business into the more "traditional" verticals. This requires a different approach for the sales and marketing teams, so this can be a con for some who might not be able to adjust - quite a bit of multi-tasking now since there are a number of open roles to be filled

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.
