Pros

-Exciting projects and products coming down the pipeline -Team is growing and lots of resources being greenlit (externally and internally) -The people are the strongest asset of this company, definitely keep investing in them!

Cons

-Lack of focus on what the business goals are: is it mapping, gaming, other? We can't reasonably do it all. -Still struggling to break through the noise in consumer and industry. Hopefully with a few new launches and additional marketing efforts that can turn around.

Pros

Independent and financially stable company with huge up-side growth potential. Very well aligned executive and senior management focused on current and future opportunities for the company and employees. Positive social impact.

Cons

Very successful live products mean balancing new growth with continuing reliability and support for existing features. Growing pains slowly giving way to finding a stride as we continue to scale.
