Pros

Great mission to provide free phone and texting to those who need it most. You'll get to work remotely and the office has a wide array of snacks if that's your thing.

Cons

Performative culture and values that don't measure up to the reality of the business. At least on my former team. Pay attention to the other reviews' "Cons" - they pretty much sum it up.

Pros

Good Pay Decent benefits (used to be a lot better)

Cons

- Senior Leadership team has no idea what they are doing and make bad decision after bad decision. -No adherence to process, no standards and no accountability! - The company culture has completely tanked over the last 2 years, TextNow used to be a great place to work.
