      Pros

      As someone else said, PlaceIQ was a great company a year ago but not now. Interesting technology, beautiful office, smart people, nice people, casual work environment, lots of free food, great work/life balance.

      Cons

      Executive Management is running the company into the ground. Just had a major layoff on January 31 - when a few short months ago - employees were told at an All Hands Meeting not to worry, don't leave them, they have money. Then Boom! last week they suddenly laid off a lot of people in order to make their latest funding last. If you lied to your employees, that is awful. If you truly did not know the financial circumstances, you need to fire your CFO. Executive Team does not know what they are doing.

      Lack of Leadership and Vision

      Pros

      They have snacks and drinks that are free Breakfast and lunch served once a week

      Cons

      Where should I start.... - Lack of Leadership and communication from the Exec Team - They are fast to fire employees who do not get in line - NY Office space is horrible. I know that this is a start up but jamming people into the space with 2x4 tables is not professional. Talk about moving to a nicer space. We've been hearing that since end of 2014. - Frat House mentality, it feels that you must attend the happy hours that they have in order to stay on the good side. CFO seems to be the ring leader at times during these events.

      Pros

      My team is good, we support each other. It used to be a fun place to work when some of our old key execs were here. Some of the early guys really paved a way for company. The product is exciting but we can't seem to deliver on time. Some of the smartest data scientist I've ever worked with. Free beer is provided all day and catered lunch.

      Cons

      There is so much turn-over. The founder does not know how to run the company. People are constantly undermined and the Sales team never gets updates on product. Just total disconnect. There is too much interoffice gossip and not enough productivity. People are scared to speak up here because they will get fired on the spot. They hide it when people quit or get fired. Everyone just walks around afraid to ask questions and they mask it by throwing us happy hours each week. As another poster here said, the CFO cares more about partying then running a company.
