Pros

The product itself is great, and there is a team of extremely smart and hard-working individuals. Free lunch, happy hours, stocked kitchen and unlimited vacation time and a generally good culture overall.

Cons

Performance is based heavily on what the ‘inner circle’ thinks of you, not so much on your actual numbers. Management is extremely detached and doesn’t seem to care about the retention rate plummeting, the lack of career growth for individuals, and overall really thanking anyone for their hard work in general. There is little to no communication about the state of the company which causes a general state of unease and panic in the office. Favoritism is rampant, resulting in some of the company being overworked and some of it not even showing up at all on the same pay scale.

We greatly appreciate your feedback. I’m glad to hear you think that the product is great and that you’re impressed by the passion and work ethic of your colleagues. Retaining talented employees is something we pay very close attention to. We always strive to make sure everyone feels appreciated for their dedication and hard work, but we likely still have room for improvement. I encourage you to connect with your manager regarding advancement opportunities within Nanigans, we’ve seen many folks over the years go from entry level roles to team leads. Also, communication is one of our highest priorities. From 2016 to 2018 many things have changed. One example, is we have much more frequent all-hands meetings where our CEO will take questions from the entire company and lay out our focus for the upcoming quarter.

Pros

- Good stepping stone into the world of marketing (you're essentially servicing as an agency)

Cons

- Terrible Management - Product that fell behind FB and no longer serves a need in market During my 1 year at Nanigans the company went from being one of the top FB SaaS/agency partners to taking a nose dive due to the following reasons: 1. Product being unable to adapt to changes within FB's ad platform and its new product rollouts 2. Exec team's inability to address the growing list of feedback collected from Account Managers (via clients), but rather blaming solely Account Managers for clients churning/company struggles (the entire AM team churned out within 3 months of my departure). 3. Exec team choosing to turn the org into a sales heavy-oriented culture rather to find more clients that they could convince to use the platform, rather than focusing on hiring more engineers and better product managers to improve the product.
