Great place to work for growth but a communication disaster !

Pros

- Great place to grow with high speed volume business model. - Even better benefits and pay

Cons

- Lack of communication from top to bottom causes major conflict in keeping organizational practices consistent. -Basically you never stop working, you can expect a meeting pop up on your calendar at 9 pm, 10 pm, 12 am out of nowhere, no work life boundaries

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We’re glad to see that you enjoy some of the benefits that IAS provides for our hard-working employees. As we are currently going through a time of transition, it is understandable that alignment and direction can seem unclear at times. However, we are committed to continuously improving how we work together and communicate as a team. One such way we hope to achieve this is through the upcoming launch of our employee engagement survey in Q1 2019. If you would like to discuss your concerns further, feel free to reach out to the People & Culture team.

HR, tech management, benefits need improvement

Anonymous employee

Pros

The office is one of the more beautiful tech offices in NYC. The people are very nice and the open office environment really helps cross-team talk, though nothing official really makes that happen (the "quarterly challenges" don't really achieve their goal). Margins are still very good in the space, and Integral is at the top of its class. Most of the people at Integral are wonderful, kind, smart people.

Cons

Health insurance still remains expensive HR is disorganized Unclear how bonuses are calculated on some teams Really terrible behavior by some employees is apparently tolerated by management Teams are siloed by specialty (ETL, product,...) rather than by product Ad-tech can be a nasty business

Pros

-Great new office... plenty of snacks.. alcohol friendly work environment (!!) -Very understanding and accommodating work environment. Employees seem to be genuinely happy and enthusiastic about what they do. -Extremely smart people working there... A great opportunity to knowledge share and branch out from your respective field if you so desire (see next point) -Plenty of 'lateral growth' -culture fosters project based work on the technical teams.. you can 'own' your projects. -two words: Quarterly Challenge! -Explosive growth

Cons

-Explosive growth is not sustainable and is artificial IMO. It seems to be more for company valuation for a potential sale, than for actual manpower need. -Technical infrastructure was designed when the company was smaller (a startup) and isn't scaling with the company's growth at all.. -Salaries are all over the place. Make sure you know your worth. They overpay some people and underpay others. - -Raises are completely arbitrary and the whole review/raise/bonus process is unrefined and nearly non-existent. That having been said, I'm sure certain 'old school', 'favored' people get them regularly. -Not enough testing of new solutions. Code it, toss it out there in production, pray nothing breaks. -Needs better mid level management. I almost feel people have too much latitude. -Some managers better than others; from nightmarish to awesome. -Honestly, not much vertical growth. Not sure if that's the company's fault or just the nature of a tech company in this field.
