The Worst - Anonymous employee PubMatic Employee Review

I held off writing a review for a very long time, but after the post that mentioned the inappropriate relationship between the executive and the employee that continually gets promoted out of cycle, was obviously deliberately yanked, I thought it was finally time to put my thoughts to paper. I just couldn't get another alert for yet another phony cheerily positive review written by HR and think that someone might believe that dreck. This company is the worst and these actions are indicative of the lack of moral compass with which it operates. I've worked for some pretty rotten companies in my day but not like this. I literally felt sick coming to work. Processes upon processes, no one taking ownership, everyone working their own agenda, lack of direction and no communication - it starts at the very top and spreads all the way down to the bottom throughout all of the offices like a disease. The continuous display of vanity, poor choices and inability to listen to what everyone else (especially your biggest customers) is saying have made this company fall further and further behind its competitors. They claim to be a product lead company but they can't keep a product team in place and seem to produce no products. Publishers are going elsewhere. The people at the top appear to be more concerned with putting "took this company to an exit" on their resumes than actually running a successful business and the employees suffer and leave. HR clearly stated at the beginning of the year that their primary goal was to make PubMatic the "Best Place to Work". Try making it not a horrible sickening place to work. Try working on employee retention. Someone else said in a previous post that it was like suffering every day. Yes. It. Was.
