Pros

I really liked most of the people I worked with. The culture was very relaxed and I felt like I was paid fairly for the work I did.

Cons

The top-level management seemed unsure of what direction to point the company. Mapquest was once a juggernaut in the tech industry, and they never adapted to the times. It seemed the company was unwilling to focus on future products and compete with the big players in the industry.

Pros

All the people actually care and work hard for a common goal. There is no judgment on what you wear or how you look, people respect you for the work you do here. Unlimited snacks, beer, and drinks are definitely a plus. The location is great (center of downtown Denver). I've worked full time and contracted for several companies in Denver and actually did a 6 month contract in the past with MapQuest. When I decided to go back to full time I had several options (Denver is very tech heavy now and a lot of jobs), overall I loved working at MapQuest and chose them. I am very happy with my decision. My hiring process was very quick compared to others (less than a week to get an offer). All the managers and PMs here are also very nice and actually a pleasure to talk to.

Cons

Sometimes it's hard to see the forecast of the work down the road and company's direction but you can tell management is trying to get better at it. Not to much else to complain about honestly, there's issues here or there but every job will have those and compared to others MapQuest is definitely one of the better ones.
