Pros

Great group of people as long as you dont have to work with them!

Cons

1. Work hard for no reward 2. Managers take credit for all the work their staffs do and do not recognize them 3. Eligible for a huge bonus but in reality you only make 50% or less of the targets they set. 4. Expense reports will never get approved for the full amount you submit 5. The dumb ones are the ones who get promoted to management positions whereas the ones who work their butt off sits back and gets no recognition 6. if you want to get ahead in this company you will need to sleep with the leadership team for promotions 7. what they promise you will never get 8. Salary Freeze. 9. Overworked. Underpaid. 10. no employees left 11. all money is spent on Learning and Development...but all the wrong people are being promoted and hiring freeze. 12. Managers will steal your call reports and take credit for them.

Pros

The only things that can be mentioned are exposure to new technologies and core ad tech concepts.

Cons

They say the fish rots from the head, and this company is the perfect example for a leadership that is destroying a great company with ego and sheer ignorance of the major problems that are plaguing it. HR is probably the worst of all, treating everyone as replaceable company pet. The company tries to appeal by throwing some money at candidates and once they somehow fool them to join, all the hell breaks loose. Lack of training, lack of direction, micromanagement, work overload, unrealistic expectations, gender biased policies are just some to list. Seeing the HR respond to negative comments with a template response is even more indicative of the interest and involvement to fix problems. Smart people are long gone, and the ones left are probably one foot out the door. I really liked this company and looked at it as one of the leaders in the programmatic ad tech space, and now it is a sad shadow of what it used to be. Super smart CEO that shockingly does not acknowledge the major problems or is not being given the full picture by those responsible to do so.

Pros

None, none, none, none, none!

Cons

Management is terrible. Get ready to be stabbed in the back, front...everywhere! You can't trust anyone here. They hear you but then you will be watched. There is no growth which is so sad. I've noticed good people leaving and that's surely a sign. When good ones leave and the bad ones stick around and get promoted left and right.
