Uncertainty Ahead for DownRamp

Pros

Good benefits and cool office

Cons

-LiveRamp was once an amazing company with a fantastic culture and clear direction. Now it is forcing out the very people that help build that culture, and hiding behind statements like they left of their own free will for different opportunities. We ALL know that is a lie. PandC is kicking out anyone that disagrees with them and hiring drones of yes people to fulfill their wishes. -LiveRamp also is calling for a return to office but closes said offices without even giving employees a heads up. -Budgets are being cut all over the board for most teams, except the LT. Not a good look to everyone else that is burnt out.

Pros

Work life balance isn't bad and it's a great place for people early in their career to get exposed to the industry. However, LiveRamp may make it difficult to move on (see below).

Cons

It's shameful how LiveRamp treats their employees and it shows in their attrition numbers. They focus more on hurting their employee's future career opportunities than they do creating an environment where people want to work. Full stop. If you're a current or future employee, you should know they're likely to demand months of your income back if you move to another adtech or cloud company, citing your next employer is a "competitor." This list of "competitors" is long, subjective and changes constantly. There are dozens of examples of LiveRamp sending threatening legal letters to people's new employers or even freezing vested equity, clearly with the intention of damaging the future success of their employees. Other items worth mentioning: -limited opportunities for growth; have to wait for boss to quit to get promoted -execs froze salaries for over a year, despite how well the company performed over the past 18 months -company values are truly just virtue signaling -toxic culture persists with multiple teams, mainly ATS, and nothing is done about it -don't come here thinking you'll build anything.. they're more successful with acquiring companies than developing their own tech -most of their "SaaS" solutions are really operated by humans in the background.. have a few examples of managed services sitting behind a UI

Pros

+1 star for: -Good pay and you don't have to work hard. Seriously, there are people that skate by for years doing almost nothing. -Legitimately good at internal transfers and role changes. Willing to let people try new things. -A nice office in a convenient location (SF)

Cons

Pretty much everything else. Look, it's adtech, so you shouldn't be expecting to be inspired and passionate about your work. It's professional BS artists slinging BS at other BS artists. Know that coming in. Even with that said, it's a hollow place, and I'm legit confused by all the positive reviews on here. The company hasn't truly rolled out a new product in years and all the current stuff they like to crow about is vaporware. The product & engineering planning and execution is laughable - it's almost impossible to get anything done and everything is factionalism and fiefdoms. Development is driven entirely by promises made by sales and exec to big-name customers without bothering to think about whether the product supports it or even makes sense as part of some larger vision or strategy. That's because the only vision is "close more deals." The people at the top stumbled into and inherited a good thing (almost none of the people who started and built the company have stuck around) and think they're savvy leaders when really they mostly just were lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time. There is a good original business here, but that kernel of quality has since been covered by layers and layers of botched execution and an inability to focus on anything for more than 2 months. Executive ranks are bloated by absorbing too many leaders from acquired companies without a plan for what they'll do. You end up with a closed-off inner circle that doesn't have their pulse on what's actually happening and nobody actually focused on execution. Don't believe them when they say they have a solution for 3p cookies - nobody does and everyone is hoping someone else will bail them out.

LiveRamp alum - You're right—your perception is indeed different from so many of our teammates'. I'd invite you to follow-up to talk through some of what you've shared here. Meanwhile, check out our recent announcement with The Trade Desk regarding our post-cookie solution—the partnership is a clear indication of the product's value, and a testament to the hard work of many of our people. Best wishes for the next chapter of your career—and again, virtual coffee on me if you'd like to talk through your comments. - Brandon
