Pros
I left a job at Google to join Insight Timer. Honestly speaking, I have never been happier. I love the fact that everyday we have an opportunity to make a big difference in people’s lives. Being an early stage startup, some weeks can be high octane, but we have a bunch of very capable people (ex-Atlassian/Google/Runtastic.. as well as mindfulness teachers, travel magazine editors etc..), led by a skilled and seasoned CEO, so the quality of decision-making is impressive, especially given the speed at which we need to operate in the mobile app space. Teams are autonomous and empowered, meetings are output-oriented yet lighthearted, the work is meaningful, and onsite meditation rooms ensure we remain balanced day-to-day! Overall I would highly recommend joining Insight Timer.
Kontras
Other apps spend tens of millions each year on PR to market their brands, so Insight Timer’s market leader status is rarely reported on. This can be frustrating when starting new business / partnership discussions with external stakeholders. The mainstream media does appear to be investigating the space more thoroughly now though, and recent public endorsements from Apple has helped too.
