Pros

Good people there and the geo market is a lot of fun and pretty exciting right now. The work/life balance is good. People work 40-45 hours but not a lot more.

Cons

deCarta has had a pretty good business but it is tough to compete against Google Maps which they do in the on-line market. It may be better now that Google charges for maps but it was tough when the G-Maps were free.

Pros

Company survived despite the industry being wiped out by Google. deCarta was the last independent LBS platform company and much of that was due to the leadership from the CEO.

Cons

Nothing except the company no longer exists due to the acquisition by Uber
