Red Tape, Red Tape, and Red Tape

Pros

Free breakfast, lunch, drinks and snacks, but not delicious.

Cons

As a start-up around 400 people, it has as much red tape as a Fortune 500 Bank or Oil and Gas company. To start a project, people have to collect more than a dozen of sign-offs from each functions. Many people without sufficient knowledge can jump in say no just because they worry about the possible negative impact to themselves. If something bad really happens, all of these people either disappear or point fingers. They definitely didn't work for the best interest of the company but for their own groups or themselves. App Annie also lacks a strong momentum on the engineering side. The product roadmap is revised every week to extend more time for new product development. Tons of money was spent to get a key product but they ended up buying another company for the technology.

Less than 90 days, I couldn’t agree more that we need to be more agile and focus on empowering our employees to make rapid decisions without multiple reviews and approvals. I truly wish that I had the opportunity to speak with you directly, because I was brought in to help solve many of the challenges you expressed. Even though you may not have been officially on my team, as part of the App Annie executive management team charter, I would have gladly stepped in to help address your frustrations. Thank you for your feedback.

We all have to decide when enough is enough

Pros

Start-up culture has so much good - the pace, the promise, and so many of the people, but, start-ups cannot operate in a world where the C-Suite create their own moral compass. The C-Suite at App Annie sadly lives in a 'pre-Susan Fowler' world where they behave however they want, and it's HR's job to make sure everyone falls in-line.

Cons

During my tenure this C-Suite settled so many issues involving sexual harassment, hostile work environment, and ‘performance-based’ dismissals - always with non-disparagement and confidentiality agreements, preventing each person from speaking out, and a cash-offer it’s hard to turn down when you’re early in your career and living in an expensive city. And this pattern, unfortunately, continues to repeat. While I no longer work there, I feel like we all have to decide when enough is enough. I’ve now seen, heard and experienced enough. I'd recommend you consider alternatives before taking an offer here.

Pros

Good reputation. Good benefits for the size of the company. Work remote.

Cons

Where to start? Just read the review responses from our CPO or Chief of Staff. We’re trying to communicate our issues with you, this is the only way we feel safe and in response you tell us to come to you and you’ll help us leave the company?! The reason these posts are personal is because many of us have poured years of our lives into this company only to see things progressively getting worse. The reason why this seems “coordinated” to management is because a lot of us are sick of the same old responses and things getting worse. Just look at the talent that’s left data.ai. These people weren’t let go, they left. Also, this negative feedback isn’t just limited to us as employees, look at “Interview Experience”. We show 42% negative and a 41% positive rating. We’re supposed to be the industry leader. Our next closest competitor has a Negative 28% and a Positive 47%. Perhaps management should look inward instead of copy and pasting the same response over and over again.
