Pros
First and foremost, my colleagues are probably the best part of WeatherBug. They are super friendly and helpful and are a key factor in what makes going to work every day fun. My second favorite aspect is the impact we have on a daily basis to millions of WeatherBug users. You cannot say that about many jobs. Another key aspect that I like about working at WeatherBug is the technology we apply with our solutions. We use a very cloud-forward and platform agnostic approach; use the technology that makes the most sense for the solution.
Cons
WeatherBug was acquired by GroundTruth back in 2016. That acquisition shook things up a bit and took about 2 years to settle down. Previous management wasn't well aligned with who WeatherBug is, so caused some confusion. That changed and is no longer an issue. Our parent company is not a consumer oriented company and the differences show up in company wide meetings. That's to be expected and while the disparity does cause some discussion amongst my peers, it's not a big distraction.
