Pros

I sadly cannot come up with a strong pro, they did historically offer competitive compensation for what its worth. The salary was nice, albeit the 401(k) did not have a match.

Cons

Middle management is terrible, while top management appears to know what they are doing they don't hear from the troops on the ground. Most of the individual contributors in the company are spinning their wheels. Clients no longer see PubMatic as a market leader and the company management is in denial about this for several quarters. Rather than doing a course correction on focusing on improving product we have had multiple "process improvements" that have only made matters worse. With the massive layoffs now underway the competitive salary they were offering is no longer a secure or reliable pro.
