Pros

A leader in an increasingly hot space (podcasting), now combined with the very complementary skills of Midroll since being acquired by Scripps. Deezer years were a bit of a not so fun detour but with the resources of Midroll/Scripps and a renewed focus on product innovation the future looks brighter than ever. While not a start up anymore given its ownership by Scripps, still has a small company culture in SF offices. Has always had a great group of people involved at the company, despite the negative reviews written here by what appear to be laid off employees who were not a great fit.

Cons

Acquisition by Scripps (public company) means that it's not as much of a start up anymore with big equity upside. Need to re-hire staff that was lost and not replaced during Deezer years in order to execute on plans.

Pros

I've worked at Stitcher for 6 years, and it's been a great experience. We've had many ups and downs during that time, but the core team has remained intact and is now more productive and together than ever before. I think the reason that the core team has stayed intact is that there is a genuine love of the product, a flexible home/work balance, and a friendly vibe in the office. The best is still to come.

Cons

We are a small team, so everyone has to pull hard in the same direction to make progress. This sometimes means we have to forego, exciting/interesting innovation opportunities in order to focus on the core product. Though as we grow our team in 2017/18 we plan on being able to innovate in the podcasting space once again.
