Svantaggi

The only reason I'm writing this review is because of the highly unethical practices me as well as several other employees I've talked to that have been laid off or cut over the last couple years have experienced after we leave, not getting the money we owed on time or at all until. It is unacceptable for any company, no matter how big or small or how much financial trouble they are in to not pay the money it owes to its employees, especially with no warning or reasoning. It is highly unethical and illegal. It took many unanswered emails until I finally received my payment (very late). I talked to several other former employees who experienced the same exact thing. Some didn't get responses or their final paycheck until they threatened a lawsuit. I highly suggest any current employee preparing to leave Localytics have an employment lawyer ready so that when they don't pay you in a timely manner you can quickly recoup your wages owed. For a company that primarily hires people in their young 20's so they can keep their costs low it is shameful to try to take advantage of their lack of experience by not paying them after they leave. Many of these employees are dealing with the financial struggles that come with being in their early 20's. As for working at the company the biggest issue I ran into is that several of the managers in the company are highly immature and selfish in nature. To have multiple managers who only care about their image in the company and not the growth or advancement of their employees was one of the most frustrating experiences to be a part of. There is a good chance you will never have a conversation with your manager about where you want to go in your career. Again, for a company that primarily hires employees coming out of college it is an extreme disservice to them not to give them the managers and mentors they need to grow. Promotions for anyone not a manager or director is extremely rare. If you want happy customers I would suggest work on making the employees happy first. Career growth and professional advancement are far more effective at creating culture than a keg and ping pong table in the kitchen. At this time I cannot give the recommendation to work at Localytics.

Vantaggi

+ Generally friendly workplace, can be a little clique-y on some teams, but overall, people here are easy to get along with. + Can't speak to the other departments, but engineering hires very well. Coworkers are all very smart, capable people who are bullish on improvements, care deeply about their craft, and don't settle for stupid hacks. + The work is both challenging and interesting. + People actually care about tech debt here. + The work environment is relaxing and offers generous vacation time (untracked) and work from home policies. + Management encourages a culture of openness and transparency that while not perfect, at least makes you feel comfortable voicing your opinion. Whether anything comes out of that probably varies by manager, but my managers are all good folk so I don't worry about that =).

Svantaggi

- If you work here you gotta be capable of giving yourself direction and making/clarifying important decisions on your own because management sometimes drops the ball by throwing out half finished requirements and expects you to fill in the blanks. I'm probably making it sound worse than it actually is, but regardless you gotta be a go-getter. - There is a major lack of communication between departments and this hurts product focus among other things and is pretty much the reason for the consistent annoyance of direction and scope changes for feature work and why the product can't always get the improvements it needs. - No matching 401K. - Free lunch is provided on Tuesdays, not Fridays. I know the complaint is petty, but I can't get over it.
