Pros

1. The company is in a very hot space. It's growing fast as the industry is growing, but is no longer the dominant player in the space it was once a pioneer of. 2. You can get acquainted with the ad tech space quickly

Cons

1. Lots of attrition at all levels. The last 2 months have seen 4 VP departures. Several others have been fired or have left. Low average tenure. 2. Don't care about employees at all - this results in A players leaving who they they are unable to retain. The C players usually get fired or resort to politics to stay employed. This has resulted in a build up of B players and C players who are fighting to stay afloat. 3. Very high level of chaos and distrust. A lot of people make decisions with the aim of not getting fired rather than doing what is best for the company. Some resort to finger pointing which is distracting and unproductive 4. A lot of office politics at all levels. The culture is negative throughout. Most people seem stressed.
