Pros

It's hard to brainstorm some pros when the company has so many challenges. However, here are some basic ones: - Good healthcare benefits - Unlimited PTO - Hybrid work model - Work/Life balance

Cons

The company acquired several companies over the years, and in 2023, it re-branded as "Nexxen." Bringing together three companies (Amobee, Tremor Video and Unruly) under one name was the easy part, but there are serious operational and business issues at Nexxen. - Mediocre culture: There's a lack of accountability across teams and from leadership. Some C-suite leaders are very traditional with big egos and lead with a subconscious patriarchal approach. Several women have felt inferior under their leadership and like their voice didn't matter. - Lack of leadership: Just because someone has a leadership title, it doesn't make them a great leader. Employees lack confidence in the C-Suite team. Many times requests are sent without proper context or background. When challenged, you are ignored or given no real answer. At times, it feels like you are working in a room of smokes and mirrors, especially when data presented contradicts what you know to be true. - There are too many solutions at Nexxen and too many priorities. Although the Product Team has a strong C-leader, it's slow to be innovative enough to be at market parity. Nexxen lost several enterprise clients in 2022-2024 for this reason.

Pros

Snacks and seltzer If you enjoy observing organizational dysfunction up close, you’ll gain plenty of experience

Cons

This company often feels more like a marketing operation than a technology company. The core product has significant issues and clients continue to leave, yet leadership prioritizes expensive client events instead of investing in fixing the platform. Layoffs repeatedly target operational staff while executive leadership appears untouched. At the same time, executives maintain private offices while employees are required to come in three days a week to compete for limited desks. Many people end up taking calls from open desks because there are not enough conference rooms. Large portions of work continue to be outsourced while teams in other regions are reduced through layoffs. The culture also discourages raising concerns. After I spoke up about being treated poorly by my manager, I was included in a later round of layoffs. Whether intentional or not, it sends a clear message about how feedback is handled. Between the product instability, constant restructuring, and leadership priorities, it is difficult to see a long-term path for the company or its employees. Employee turnover and client churn both seemed to be increasing during my time there. There appears to be a significant disconnect between executive leadership and the day-to-day realities of the teams running the business.
