Excellent people, bad upper management
Data Scientist (Former Employee) - San Francisco, CA - September 3, 2019
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedI had great fun working at Tapjoy, and I worked on relevant problems using latest technologies in machine learning and deep learning. Really smart people in the team. Unfortunately the upper management is a little shaky and do not give direction to the teams below and tend to paint a rosy picture when things aren't actually great, and lay off people without any notice.

Typical day at work
Senior Account Executive (Former Employee) - Venice, CA - March 6, 2019
There were 7 of us on the team all in the same room which made calls pretty difficult. There was a lot of cold calling as opposed to consistent returning business.
Pros
Great boss, Great flexibility
Cons
Needed a larger space for sales team

Fun place that is every changing
Administrative Services Manager (Current Employee) - San Francisco, CA - October 15, 2018
In the year that I have worked at Tapjoy, I've learned more about the life cycle of a start up company. You will find two drastically different energies within the company. There is the fast pace, loud, and high energy sales side and the calm cool and collective data side. Both equally make up the culture on the company.
Pros
competitive benefits, meal compensation

Short review
Senior Manager Creative Services (Former Employee) - San Francisco, CA - September 13, 2018
Paid well with great benefits. People come and go to different jobs. Had a great time working there and made great friends. Highly political and people whispered and talked behind closed doors.

Young and energetic, extremely hands on, motivating work environment.
Sales Representative (Former Employee) - Santa Barbara, CA - November 1, 2015
Tapjoy is an outstanding place to work. From day one, everything was hands on. Each sales rep would do all of their own lead generation, outbound sales calls, sales closing, and account management.
The work environment was fun and energetic, an open floor with immediate access to management. Everyone was collaborative and encouraging, I could not have asked for a better work environment to learn sales.
Pros
Great benefits, good compensation, ability to telecommute if you are sick or out of town.
Cons
No Cons.

Fun place to work, exciting, awesome people
Video Consultant - Marketing & IT (Current Employee) - San Francisco, CA - January 16, 2014
I am on contract so my experience is not from a full time perspective.
From what I have experienced, there are very capable and proven leaders who are ambitious to make Tapjoy a premium company and a leader in their industry.
I believe Tapjoy is postured for a very big 2014.

No Free Lunch
Worker on 13th (Current Employee) - San Francisco - November 15, 2012
Pro: For the most part Tapjoy is comprised of some fantastic and smart people. Honestly, this is likely the only reason why many are still working here. There is also some ridiculous work-life balance here.Con: The smart and fantastic people are shoved into the corner, while the incompetent lead. Terrible organizational communication. Product vision is borderline terrible. Frankly, if it weren't for my peers this place would probably rank as one of the worst places to work.
Pros
people and work-life balance
Cons
free lunch is gone, terrible management & leadership, business/sales driven company - sorry for the designers and engineers
