Pros

Once upon a time, this company was the darling in mobile advertising. Today they are no longer a relevant player in the mobile advertising space.

Cons

The two words that best describe Chartboost are "missed opportunities." Missed opportunities to develop products early instead of playing catch-up after competition has launched it. Missed opportunities to retain quality employees - over 80% of the company has turned over in the last 2 years. And lastly, missed opportunities for a strong exit - the company's valuation has dropped significantly in the last three years. Why is this? MANAGEMENT. A lack of transparency from up top, questionable hiring/promotion decision, and nepotism at the exec level. Surprised that the investors haven't stepped in and forced a sale yet.

Pros

The office space is really cool. People are fun to hang out with. Great commuter benefits and free lunch.

Cons

Well, pretty much everything else. The work itself is not exciting in any way. No upward mobility. The leadership team has no vision whatsoever. The new management layer is mediocre at its best. The company prides itself on its culture. But the core people who helped shaped the culture have all left. People that are still here are either leaving or thinking about leaving.
