Pros

ping pong and foosball, stocked kitchen, some mid level managers are helpful and supportive.

Cons

media temple is failing due to poor leadership and a botched acquisition by godaddy. The executives are disconnected from the company product and employees. There is extreme cost cutting going on to make up for fleeing customers and decreasing sales. Sales quotas have been increased and you will be fired for not meeting them as managers change the rules in the middle of the game. The president rarely comes to work and other executives roll in and 2 in the afternoon. They allow remote work for some employees but not others and play favorites by hiring friends and relatives. We moved offices from a great location near public transportation to a boring office building sandwiched between highways just to be closer to the presidents house.

First, let me thank you for your feedback. We’ve seen a ton of transformation and the pendulum swing on the extremes as we evolved from being a privately held small/medium company to being acquired, and going public as a part of GoDaddy. Those changes haven’t impacted all employees the same way, and we acknowledge that. I wanted to address your comments about our new office location: The process of moving the entire office was on and off the table for years and, before choosing our current location, our leadership team looked into pretty much every LA neighborhood. Bottom line: There are always trade-offs with a company move and we tried and minimized their impact on employees as much as possible. When it comes to hiring, we have open positions across almost all departments and while we recognize the appeal of flexible work arrangements for potential future employees, we also acknowledge that we have to do better in this area.
