Business Outlook

Pros

- Company invented key technology - Huge market opportunity and really only a few competitors (Rubicon, AppNexus, Google/Admeld) - Probably will have an exit - Were some very talented people there (but they usually left)

Cons

- Turnover is literally 75% every 6 months in the CA office - Huge rift between Product & Engineering (in India) and rest of the company - Leadership could care less about an employee's career path - Underpaid "workers" overpaid "managers" - No capable middle management - Missed their chance to sell to Google (before they bought Admeld)
