Pros

Unlimited PTO is genuine depending on team Healthcare costs

Cons

C-suite is a revolving door and you'll never know the true reason as a lower level employee. CHRO is incompetent and doesn't seem to feel compelled to actualize any real change since the CEO is her good friend. She coasts and then questions why no plans are in action. Many leaders here are here due to strong recommendations from friends on the inside, usually lacking the necessary leadership and skill to make any progress or develop in an innovative way. Bias and discrimination is lurking around every corner if you're not a white man or woman and you'll easily be ignored or told this is a one off situation. Your career development is based on how interested your manager is. Have met with employees who haven't had a consistent manager in over a year and given evasive answers from their skip levels.

Pros

You can sometimes work with great people that genuinely smart, and can at times turn to people who will support you. My team was great, and I had a great time working with my them. Work life balance was pretty healthy.

Cons

Engineering is pretty beholden to product/c-suite decisions, so projects get prioritized in an illogical way. Company has moved more hiring to outsourcing to improve the bottom line, but is negativity affecting morale for the remaining people. Working across teams sometimes can be a huge pain, as some groups create red tape to push away responsibility. And ditto, that pay and compensation are terrible. Raises exist but tend to be pretty poor. Career growth internally also exist, but to be promoted there needs to be a business need for it (so don't count on it). Rank and file were pretty much thrown under the bus for the IPO.

Pros

There are a lot of negative reviews and anyone considering joining IAS please consider this company went from 6 people, to fun work hard/play hard start up, to acquisition, now to scaling and being best in the industry at optimization and verification in the digital media space. Every company has its challenges. As someone that has been at this company for over 10 years I have seen it all. There have been hard times, easy times, tough times you name it. The one constant at IAS is opportunity to work at a company that sees billions of transactions per day hitting every single area of the advertising technology spectrum. If you want opportunity this is the place to be. The new leadership team for the most part is two years or younger at IAS and they are goal driven and committed to excellence. They listen to problems and hold people accountable on solving those problems. That is how it is supposed to work. The CEO got in front of the company every single week throughout the pandemic and answered any and all questions that any employee asked. Every. Single. Week. She also does round table conversations working tirelessly to ensure everyone and anyone that wants to be heard is heard. There has never been a time in the history of this company where a leader was this committed to solving issues whether big or small. The new head of HR has prioritized both mental health and wellness, along with ensuring diversity and inclusion now has a true owner along with setting up various initiatives such as leadership training and coursework to improve the culture overall. She has exemplified consistency and priority on areas that were never on the table throughout the history of this company. Those that are giving really critical reviews of IAS are looking back at what it was instead of ahead. The company has changed a lot recently. FOR THE BETTER. I challenge anyone who is being critical of IAS on their way out or continuing to work in an environment no longer suitable to them to walk me through any company without issues or is not a business at the end of the day. Bottom line IAS has opportunity now more than ever with a fresh hard working leadership team driven to succeed. I look forward to the next few chapters ahead while continuing my journey at this amazing company.

Cons

- Very fast paced. - Complex technical products that if you do not take onboarding seriously it will stunt your growth and happiness - Adtech is a tough industry but if you love big data and complex products then its a perfect environment.
