Pros

It's hard to brainstorm some pros when the company has so many challenges. However, here are some basic ones: - Good healthcare benefits - Unlimited PTO - Hybrid work model - Work/Life balance

Cons

The company acquired several companies over the years, and in 2023, it re-branded as "Nexxen." Bringing together three companies (Amobee, Tremor Video and Unruly) under one name was the easy part, but there are serious operational and business issues at Nexxen. - Mediocre culture: There's a lack of accountability across teams and from leadership. Some C-suite leaders are very traditional with big egos and lead with a subconscious patriarchal approach. Several women have felt inferior under their leadership and like their voice didn't matter. - Lack of leadership: Just because someone has a leadership title, it doesn't make them a great leader. Employees lack confidence in the C-Suite team. Many times requests are sent without proper context or background. When challenged, you are ignored or given no real answer. At times, it feels like you are working in a room of smokes and mirrors, especially when data presented contradicts what you know to be true. - There are too many solutions at Nexxen and too many priorities. Although the Product Team has a strong C-leader, it's slow to be innovative enough to be at market parity. Nexxen lost several enterprise clients in 2022-2024 for this reason.

Pros

Some great people and unlimited PTO.

Cons

Over the last few months, HR initiated a campaign offering $150 for positive Glassdoor reviews. Once they had all of the reviews in, they made the following announcement: employees within a 2-hour commute of an office or coworking space will return to work four days a week. Adding insult to injury, they indicated they anticipate turnover as a result, which they openly welcome due to the current job market conditions providing ample candidate pools, currently without jobs, willing to come into an office. Furthermore, there is a mounting concern both within the organization and among external stakeholders that Nexxen may be providing misleading information to clients and staff regarding several developments since the mergers and rebranding.

Dear Valued Employee, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and concerns. We take feedback seriously and want to ensure we're creating a workplace that supports and values our employees. First, regarding the recent Glassdoor initiative, we believe in transparency and encourage all our employees to share their experiences. We understand that our initiative to gather feedback may have come across differently than intended, and we were simply wanting to promote the brand. Your POV is certainly appreciated and heard. Our goal is always to create a space where everyone feels heard, and we will reflect on how we can better approach such initiatives in the future. Regarding the decision to return to the office, we recognize that this is a significant change, especially after an extended period of remote work. Our intention was to bring teams closer together and foster collaboration that can sometimes be difficult to achieve remotely. We understand that this transition may not be easy for everyone and are committed to supporting our employees during this period of adjustment. We also want to address your concern about turnover. While we acknowledge the potential challenges that come with any major shift in work arrangements, we want to emphasize that our primary focus is on retaining and nurturing our current talent. We value our employees highly and are exploring ways to make this transition as smooth as possible. There is an increasing trend in N. America overall to return to office, and we are navigating these changes with care. Again, we appreciate your feedback. It is invaluable in helping us understand the areas where we need to address. If you have any additional thoughts or suggestions, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss them further. Our People Team is here for you. Thank you!

Pros

There aren't any to name after all these years.

Cons

The absence of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan is the company's way of blatantly letting employees know that they are rented equipment; all while ensuring that the financial rewards of that success are hoarded by a select few. This is the ultimate act of corporate selfishness. It reveals a pathological fear of letting all employees truly benefit from the value they create. It’s a one-way street of sacrifice and the message is crystal clear: "Your labor is a cost to be managed, not an asset to be invested in. You are a line item, not a stakeholder. The growth you drive is ours to enjoy, not yours to share in." I’ve worked at corporations that generate billions of dollars per quarter, but such revenue growth is unattainable at this company because it is run with the maturity of a high school clique. Incompetence and unprofessionalism is encouraged and enabled. They will layoff a perfect 10 employee with the plan to replace them by hiring two 5s. If you’re a rockstar, they’ll let you train your replacement before laying you off. The recent events are just proof of this. Aspirations for a competitive edge are futile due to a tolerance of kindergarten-level operational discipline run by immature and incompetent management who are more concerned with being friends instead of being profitable. Promotions aren’t earned due to hard work, being highly skilled and more than capable of fulfilling your roles and responsibilities; they’re given to those who value assimilation over ability. A woman’s tears is an essential ingredient to fast tracking a promotion here. Upper management celebrates a closed loop of self-congratulatory failure, ensuring that the only ideas that rise to the top are the ones that won’t threaten the delicate egos of those already there. Bias ensures only the connected and conformist are promoted. The company operates on perverse trickle-up economics where the value created by the workforce is systematically siphoned upward. They plead poverty to the very people generating revenue, while upper management and the executive suite engage in a grotesque, self-congratulatory feast on the spoils. It's a kleptocracy disguised as a company. The majority of the sales team consists of a parasitic ecosystem built on intellectual theft. Most so-called "sellers" are glorified messengers and order takers, carrying the work of the undervalued, overworked sales support staff. Many sellers are incapable of using their brains; they use sales support (CSMs and AMs) as a cognitive crutch. The result is a reward system that is not just broken, but morally bankrupt and most sellers are rewarded with raises and promotions for plagiarism. Nexxen incentivizes mediocrity and penalizes the very genius that keeps the lights on. It’s the world's most expensive game of telephone, where the person who understands the solution the least gets paid the most to misrepresent it.
