Pros

PubMatic is the fastest growing company two years in a row. Excellent people have joined the company during the last year or so Systems are processes are being setup as the company transitions from a start-up to a mid sized company Lot of learning opportunities

Cons

The company does not function as an integrated company, the offices are run like fiefdoms with co-founders running it The company has a hire and fire policy.There have been many firing/resignations in the product mgmt., user experience and engineering organizations The new hires are not told what they will be working on upfront. They are often pushed into the role without much training or upfront. It is not a career, at best a job in between careers. The employees are not allowed to take holidays . The lack of holiday policy means that managers discretion is key, which normally works against employees favor There are better places to spend your time and learn .
