Vantaggi

- A few people at the company, mostly the senior engineers, are excellent at teaching and mentoring junior members on the team.

Svantaggi

- No clear product vision made it so that reactionary decisions would take the place of proper planning. If the daily active users dropped for one day, a fire drill would be called. - There is a clear divide between the have's and have not's. Those with the higher salaries among the tech teams could get away with just about anything, including verbal abuse in company-wide emails. - The product was once a heavy hitter in the free texting world, but became lost in the mix after several hasty releases and focusing on trying to do too much too quickly. - Aside from a certain engineers, the salary paid to the tech teams is way below the market average.

Vantaggi

None. They claim innovation, but the latest "innovations" have been Nextplus a crippled version of textPlus but with stickers and GIFs!, voicemail (first available in the 1980s), Lucky Call where you are connected with random people (every pedo's dream), and Risky Pix which sends random pictures from your phone's library (another pedo wet dream).

Svantaggi

If you have any intelligence you will be beat down by the VPs who are apparently the most intelligent beings in the universe. There's so many VPs and Directors here, the place is a title factory. It's a dying company only on life support by investors whom are obviously being mislead. The daily active users is falling everyday, 50% of new users don't open the app the next day. If you're offered stock, like we have been offered again recently, before you get excited exercise your third-grade math skills. Look at TechCrunch at the amount of money raised in investments, there are several more that aren't there, then look at the revenues each year and you'll be able to quickly see that recycling the stock paperwork will pay you more.
