Pros

Some fantastic, hardworking individuals across the business in client servicing and technology teams. Product has some genuinely interesting and powerful use cases that gives Signal a tangible place within the adtech space.

Cons

As the last review states: "Many poor choices made years ago are causing Signal to make difficult decisions. Signal are now paying for past mistakes." This at least partially refers to the fact that Signal have made multiple rounds of redundancies within the last 12 months, of which, I was included within the last round. I was made redundant on the last day of my six month new starter probation period (late in the afternoon, so technically less than a working day's notice). There was absolutely no forewarning from the business that redundancies were even upcoming, let alone that there was a risk I would be directly affected. To make matters worse, I was on holiday and the redundancy was conducted via a short phonecall from HR. If you do join the business, my advice is that you get the business to make CRYSTAL clear your standing and potential risks of redundancy throughout your probation period to avoid the risk of this happening to you.

Pros

- Snacks - Good health insurance - Decent dental and vision - Unlimited vacation (bitter sweet I only took a week off) - Remote flexibility - Nice sunlit office - Convenient location - I learned a lot in my brief time there. The challenges were at times immense but getting through them made me better at my job and more hirable for my next gig - Standing desk upon request - Packed stationary closet - Emergency deodorant if you were having a smelly day - Lots of happy hours and free meals - Smart and fun colleagues - My immediate boss was amazing. A real advocate and incredibly intelligent

Cons

I experienced more discrimination at this work place than any other place I have worked - After some transparent conversations it became clear there were pay discrepancies solely based on my social identity - All the people of color were either fired or left my immediate team during the course of my time at the company - At one point I was the only person of color on my team and I was treated very differently than my white counterparts, unfortunately. I was given a disproportionate amount of responsibility without appropriate acknowledgement. Instead, I was berated or reprimanded by upper management in front of my teammates - The company as a whole is struggling deeply. In the months I was there the CTO left, the founder/CMO quit out of the blue without saying a word, the newly appointed CMO quit, the VP of engineering quit, the most tenured workers all quit. The CEO is a sweet kind man but with the upper management being so unstable I don’t know how long the company will be around unless there is a radical shift in revenue and management Some stats and facts from the most recent layoffs that I calculated, 10/4/2018: - 100% of queer women of color were laid off - 50% of queer men of color were laid off - 50% of the women engineers were laid off - 1/3 of people of color at the company were laid off - Of the total recent layoffs 75% of the people were from a marginalized group in tech No 401 K match

Pros

Nice office, great perks, great people.

Cons

The company has few happy clients. Two rounds of layoffs in one year and most people are looking to get out before another. Product is stale. Vision for the future is murky. The new "fixer" CEO has few solid ideas and the walls keep crumbling around her. There might not be anything left before a direction is taken.
