Pros

The best company I've ever worked for in terms of culture, openness and friendliness. Incredibly diverse workforce and very inclusive of one another. Fabulous product set, these guys are really going somewhere. Hard working grown ups unlike some of their competitors that I've worked for. The best part of working with this company is their commitment to their customers and prospects, they have the best after care team I have ever encountered. It really made me proud to be a part of this company for that very reason. As a customer you'll never be left to flounder with a top notch customer success team. I think all companies should be looking to Appboy's customer service team and use this a benchmark. The senior exec team are forward looking and thinking in their approach and always seem to be a step ahead of what customers and the overall market will want from a marketing automation platform. Genuinely the nicest bunch of people you will ever get to meet.

Cons

There are no serious cons with this company at all. I will see that sometimes if you're in a remote office like I was, that awesome US culture sometimes doesn't quite reach the corners of those other offices which I believe they are aware of and will work to prevent this happening. If you're looking for a work/life balanced and a relaxed pace then keep on walking by. Expect to work 14 hour days along with everyone else and at a super fast pace, if you can't commit to that, then this probably isn't the place for you. If you end up working here, then don't leave, it will hurt you to your very core, I miss this company and their fine people every single day.

Pros

- Great place to intern and learn many skills especially if you have a foot in the tech-world door but don't feel like you are fully immersed in it. They expect you to learn things on the job and it has been the most valuable internship I've ever had. - Relaxed work atmosphere and everyone is sociable and hardworking. A lot of industry experts who have jumped ship to Appboy and it shows with how well the company is doing. - Get your work done sort of atmosphere which is great if you don't want to be too bothered with the face-time issues at some other employers. - Work is engaging IF you make sure to be communicative about your role, and what projects you can take on. - They allowed a lot of flexibility with people's career trajectories, and as long as you worked hard, there were a lot of individuals switching lanes and departments very smoothly. - HIGH HIGH Growth. If you work hard, put out great (not good) work and can present your wins well, they reward employees well in that regard.

Cons

- There is definitely an Appboy V1 and an Appboy V2, with this wave of hires becoming a V3. But, I wonder how much of this is the company and how much of this is embedded in start-up culture. A lot of brilliant gems in V2 who should be really leading the company but alas, the early bird gets the worm (in this case, the equity and authority.) - Since they are doing very well, the headcount goes up, and they are more like a budding enterprise rather than a start-up. Appboy is not going anywhere in the foreseeable future, and they are scaling the company accordingly which may more rules and regulations surrounding the flexibility and fast-paced career development that I have just mentioned.

Pros

Appboy is the best company I have ever worked for. The culture and the people I work with are amazing and it's very hard to put into words how much I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of something so special. As Steve Jobs said "we don't hire people to tell them what to do, we hire them so they tell us what to do". The trust management has in me as an employee and others really gives me the confidence to perform well and the motivation to work hard. Anytime I need assistance, it is there for me. Our CEO, CTO, CIO, CRO, and middle management I consider friends, and see Appboy as a real family. I have also seen that all other employees feel the same and that is something I have never seen before. As the former CEO of Costco said "culture is not an important thing, it's the only thing"..and we sure do have the best culture, which is allowing us to have well performing employees and keep up with the amazing growth. The product is hands down the best on the market, it needs no introduction.

Cons

There is absolutely no cons at Appboy. If you think there is, you are spoiled, and don't know how good you have it, period. If you think that cant be true, come to our office and talk to the people...you cant fake passion, enthusiasm, and the smiles on faces.
