      Great company, great people, lots of opportunities

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      (1) Culture - very open, lots of respect for people, not hierarchical (2) People - highly driven, intelligent and very friendly (3) Opportunities - high growth, still at the beginning of the advertising shift online (4) Nature of the work - fast paced, highly innovative

      Cons

      (1) Worklife/balance - very hard working environment. Can be a con for some. Overall the company tries to manage this as best as possible, but the reality of being in a fast-growing highly innovative company is more work than in a slower paced environment (2) Getting large/bureaucratic - for a fast moving company, it has grown up since the mid-2000s and so is more bureaucratic than say a startup but MUCH LESS than other corporates

      Great place to work, stay out of Ops

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Peers are sheer geniuses in their realm, very low amount of low performers - Fun - Great Start for college grads - pace is fast, learning is fast - AWESOME annual bonus

      Cons

      - Middle management is very detached from work - Everything is looked from a efficiency standpoint, and sometimes that cannot be done - Indication (in ops groups) that decision is coming from the top down rather than bottom up as was tradition

      Pros

      Easy work, lots of random cool projects to work on. Get to multitask on tons of projects at the same time. Good location.

      Cons

      Too few opportunities. Engineers can be extremely weird here. I would recommend against this job for another tech company. Direction is vague and erratic.
