Pros

- Unlimited PTO - Excellent and affordable healthcare coverage

Cons

Where to start? The succinct explanation is that leadership doesnt understand ad verification, doesnt care to learn, and is more concerned with fitbit challenges as a meager way of boosting morale instead of investing in the products that have been so mismanaged they are essentially non-functioning. There is zero accountability at this company from anyone, but especially leadership which has, for the most part, been an incredible example of corporate nepotism. It is truly astounding how no one in leadership has been able to acknowledge any of their mistakes, but more concerning, it seems they have no intention of rectifying them. Top talent is leaving every day (literally, every day) and for good reason - instead of investing in their people and product, they blindly ignore feedback and tell us in townhalls that everything is fine. I highly suggest avoiding this company until they are sold again, the Vista blueprint isn't working here so save yourself the headache.

Pros

Still a very relevant topic within the industry, you have opportunity to meet with both senior level agency contacts and clients directly. There are a lot of smart people who are pretty accessible if you make an effort to seek them out. Depending on your team and manager, pretty good work/life/telecommuting setup.

Cons

Senior sales leadership is terrible; they're entirely focused on their own job security and compensation post acquisition. Sales plans are being announced when the quarter is practically over, and everyone is being paid on accounts just inherited -- and the plan includes a high floor that could mean zero commission. No plans have been put in writing yet, which is another example of how bloated and inefficient the HR and finance teams are. We're kept in the dark about what our commission will be until the last minute. I usually don't know my own quarterly/annual attainment until a paycheck hits my bank account. Impossible to track revenue or understand calculations for commission, despite asking for detail. No idea how quotas are set. No per account quota or revenue data provided, despite requests. Very shady. Big growth targets, despite having no new products to sell and having fallen behind on the tech side. Leadership is completely out of touch on what the actual sale cycle or sales challenges are. Any revenue data we do receive is incredibly confusing because of multiple, unexplained "credits" issued by finance. No finance data matches actual volume that we pull. Impossible to know how you're tracking. Sales ops and sales support has become a huge team, but our processes have become very complicated with both employees and clients getting fed up. Finance continues to be a nightmare and not accountable. Invoice issues go unresolved or unresponded to. Clients are angry and IAS employees are caught in the middle regularly. We've lost business over it, and salespeople are penalized.

Thank you for providing your feedback. Ensuring our sales force has the tools to do their jobs with confidence is a priority for us. The practices we employ in our commission plans are based on best practice and evolve every year. While we can appreciate that change is difficult as the company moves from a small organization to a global organization at scale, it is necessary for us to look at continuous improvements which may create some getting used to.

Twisted reality of misguided people management

Pros

Friendly colleagues (though bonding in not so happy times), good food and perks.

Cons

Besides lack of direction and meToo copycat strategy, I have to say it was HR turning a blind eye on inappropriate behavior especially against female workers. A male manager would always be considered in their right to mistreat female colleagues (even in a very obvious to everyone fashion), and it takes this company HR department multiple complaints until they react. Not many female employees stay that long to see things changing. The sad part is that the company retains the worst HR offenders to this day.
