Pros

None to highlight. See cons instead.

Cons

Highly mismanaged company, with entitled execs. If you are not part of the "boy's clubs & friends", you are dead. There will be no good way to influence change, you will be doubted and push to limits (meaning out of the company). Execs govern with power, but not an ounce of leadership even in areas they have no understanding of.

Pros

They were previously switching strategy which caused turnover. Smart company that knows what they're doing. Was great to be a part of.

Cons

Like any company, lots of pivots. Causes uncertainty with job security which in reality doesn't exist in this industry.

Pros

You always get to surprise people when you tell them where you work and get the “oh, I didn’t know that company was still around”

Cons

Company culture is severely lacking, and it feels like Foursquare never found their footing after the pandemic. This, in turn, has led to the instability of constant layoffs and change at all levels, including C-suite management. From sales to tech, there’s probably a reason why the most senior level people are no longer there—because they read between the lines and left before the ship sank. Attempted to replace engineering talent with cheap Eastern Europe labor, which made a mess of the company. Now they’ve just become a shell of a company and a data broker with questionable data. Work here at your own risk, just maybe consider continuing that job search while you’re still there.
