Pros

Decent pay Occasional travel Good benefits A few SUPERB people

Cons

Huge lack of work/life balance. Expect to work on the weekends and into the night. Mass layoffs occurred after the company kept promising everything was good, and not one month later the company was hiring again. Lots of cliques in the work place and the company spend more money on fancy holiday parties then saving their own employees. Sales people only care about themselves and will drag you down just for their commission. Lack of help between teams everyone is super siloed. I was laid off by someone who ended up crying and never even worked with me. Was not even given the decency of a discussion with my boss. Pretty big slap in the face.

Pros

Remote work and good health insurance

Cons

Low pay, heavy workload, long hours, no growth, and management likes to remind people how disposable they are in 1:1 meetings. There is a culture of favoritism and the performance goal post changes at any potential career milestone for those who are not favored by management. The perks are not worth the challenge of navigating the environment.

Pros

Basis Technologies is an innovative company with really smart people and a strong advertising platform for both mid-market and enterprise organizations. I was always very impressed with the caliber of employees across the organization. The company offered generous benefits including extremely competitive healthcare, mental health support, and flexible time off (FTO). From my observation, the best roles to be in at the organization are in sales leadership or client services leadership because those roles are given a lot of visibility and influence inside the company.

Cons

I think one might find that their experience at Basis Technologies feels like a bit like a bait and switch. Through the interview process and in the onboarding process, the company claims (and I believe aspires) to be a place that has a positive team-oriented work environment and culture where everyone can succeed while working towards the best client outcomes possible. Unfortunately, I found that my employee experience was full of favoritism, unreasonable workloads, micromanagement, and lack of upward mobility. The goalpost for career development (lateral move, promotion, etc.) constantly changed, and there were never clear guidelines to ultimately advance at Basis Technologies. The compensation model for client services employees was also weighted so it was really difficult to predict income or earn compensation relative to the work being performed. Procedure and policy shifts were rolled out in an extremely chaotic and disorganized fashion, which contributed to confusion and burnout. For an entry- to mid- level employee, Basis Technologies is a really frustrating place to work - I often found the role robotic and truly felt like I was just a number.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. I'm thrilled to hear you appreciated the innovation, talented team, and generous benefits at Basis. It’s great to know that our healthcare, mental health support, and flexible time off were highlights for you. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with leadership. That’s not the experience we want nor expect for our people. I appreciate your advice on fostering a more personalized experience and ensuring clear communication. Your insights will help make meaningful improvements. Thanks again for sharing your experience and contributing to our growth. (April Weeks, Chief Investment & Media Officer)
