Pros

High caliber engineers, amazing back end technology, big data challenges well met.

Cons

"Growth" is defined as yet another investor round, not customer acquisition/revenue. Visionless CEO who desperately needs to be replaced. Total control freak product management focused on new features that few or no customers care about.

Pros

Topsy comprehensively summed up the Silicon Valley experience. Complete with fantastic culture, brilliant co-workers- all while developing and distributing innovative technologies.

Cons

Since the acquisition by Apple, I can't accurately speak to what Topsy has become. Knowing management is mostly the same, I still expect the best from Topsy.

Pros

I've been given the freedom/opportunity to do more here than anywhere else in my career by far. We are bringing on many big name customers who are excited about our product offering. Topsy is also becoming more sales driven, and product is reacting better to customer needs. People here are smart and work hard but there is still time for fun, no one takes themselves too seriously. Perks are amazing (unlimited PTO, subsidized gym membership, catered lunch & dinner, keg parties every month etc.). I'm excited to come to work nearly every day.

Cons

- Constant change and need for some structure/process - The product could use a facelift and be more pleasant to look at - Better communication from executives about vision for the company is needed
