Pros

- Very relaxed environment. Micromanaging is not a thing here. - Career growth opportunities are possible. Management cares about where you want to go in your career, not only what TokBox needs from you. Very supportive in that way. - People are respectful and care about one another like a family. - Low on politics. There are some, but it's not like I've seen at other companies. - Ability to choose the types of projects you are most interested in. Things aren't just assigned to you. You preference matters. - Engineering driven, which is good if you're an engineer. - Very smart passionate coworkers. - Free lunch and it's delicious. - Free work phone - Nice health benefits and perks

Cons

- Communication between departments could be improved. - Collaboration could be better between teams who are one their own islands working on their own projects. Some missed opportunities occur when people work siloed. This is being worked on though. - Company future is a bit ambiguous. In tech things are always changing. - Owned by Telefonica so a bit of big brother stuff, but not terrible. - Engineering driven, which can be challenging for less technical employees.

Pros

- Challenging and rewarding job: what you develop has a real impact on thousands of customers that use video conference every day - Very flexible work hours. You can work from the office or remotely (not necessarily from home) - Amazing coworkers and great culture. - Free lunch and snacks

Cons

- Since there are coworkers all over the world, it's sometimes difficult to sync with people in different time zones. Also, because of this, meetings can sometimes happen at not very convenient times

Pros

Everyone I've worked with at TokBox is absolutely at the top of their game. This is a company full of people who love what they do, and have incredibly admirable work-life balance. I found myself looking forward to coming in each day, and making lifelong friends quickly. At work, everyone is pleasant and professional with productive, efficient meetings with just right amount of playful banter. After work, happy hours are a regular thing and the whole office bands together for yoga, rock climbing, and other great activities. Lunches provided and tons of meeting rooms (there's always at least one available).

Cons

An open office can be tough for introverts, but TokBox does provide each person with a massive amount of space and privacy all things considered.
