Pros
At Motricity, you get to work with some of the most experienced people in the mobile data services industry, and on some major projects for major customers that will be seen and used on a daily basis by millions. The breadth of technologies used provides significant learning opportunities, and the industry in general is well positioned for explosive growth. Motricity is constantly changing, and even non-business focused employees will learn a lot about how a business operates and is run.
Cons
The company has not expressed a clear vision of who it wants to be when it grows up, and struggles with internal politics and a difficult financial position. While necessary time is spent working to consolidate technical platforms and reduce cost, it is a critical time for the company to be investing in expanding its presence and capabilities, and there is not enough slack in the system to do both, meaning people are working extremely hard, sometimes with little hope of success. Because of the companies indebtedness to investors and corresponding dilution, stock option grants are unlikely to have significant future value.
