Getting better all the time

Pros

The company continues to innovate and has simultaneously increased focused on improving employee growth and culture. There is more publicly shared employee recognition and people being supportive of one another. It's really paid off. Additionally, I've witnessed a real noticeable improvement in hiring higher quality people. The recent hires have been great. Many more fun office activities are going on. Also, Senior Management has focused much more on being transparent about our performance during our 'All Hands' meetings. This transparency really helps go a long way to make everyone understand not only our great results but also the vision and how we're all contributing to bring value and innovation to our customers.

Cons

This space moves fast and change is constant. You need to be able to roll with it and realize that the fast pace is the norm. If you're not looking to make a difference then this isn't the place for you. People who work hard get recognized and rewarded. There are tons of opportunities to learn, contribute and make a difference but you need to bring your 'A' game!

Into the Deep

Pros

+ A great place to build a network that keeps on giving after you've left. + Some superb hires you'll be able to learn from (but they don't stay long). + Great teammates + Spring board for mid-career employees

Cons

Similar to being at Pubmatic, there's something that happens to the human body when it gets pushed underwater. You don't simply drown - something in the most ancient parts of your brain switches on and, recognizing, that you are somewhere you're not meant to be, tries to keep you alive. To all still there: Before you're pushed too deep under the ship (PubMatic) sitting in stagnant water I hope you to come up for air and swim to shore. - Communication between teams and with the company overall is very poor. - Execution of new product launches and GTM material often fall short and are delayed to the market. - Wouldn't recommend to engineers. You'll work on your code, but won't be exposed to market feedback to understand the true value of what you're working on. - 30%+ annual voluntary attrition rate. It's created gaps through out the comapny that aren't being back filled. Instead of hiring the best possible candidates management positions are often offered to in-experienced employees to keep them from leaving. - Performance goals aren't being met, which will directly impact compensation if you're in a commercial role.

AW-FUL

Pros

Unlimited days off (not that you'll be able to take any), high salary

Cons

Awful leadership, poor communication, engineer-driven company that ignores most customer feedback, over-sells capabilities, complete lack of transparency, plenty of in-fighting at the C-suite.
