      Good people, sinking ship

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Amazing work-life balance. This place basically coined the term “WFH” (work from home). - Internal mobility to switch job roles is a possibility, a handful of people have done it - Generous travel opportunities (although not anymore) - Free food almost constantly

      Cons

      - Extremely weak leadership and upper management. None of them are held accountable for the fact that the company no longer has clear values and mission, or held accountable for Outbrain’s worsening public reputation as a clickbait company. Weak leadership is one of the top company complaints since we started doing internal engagement surveys, and they are the #1 reason for company demoralization. - Unhappy people have been leaving in droves for months, and the general perceived sentiment is that management does not care and will make excuses for it - Hardcore politics get in the way of work being done. As a NY employee who had to work with many people in various time zones, the management layer in the Israeli office is difficult to deal with and consistently hard to communicate with. - Zero creative leadership (or rather: zero creative folks in positions of supposed creative leadership) - Really questionable spending habits in so many ways. Also, the structure for receiving bonuses and promotions is opaque, not done in a systematic way, and subject to a lot of bias/favoritism. Outbrain also likes to “promote” people with no increase in pay, with increased responsibilities on top of the original responsibilities.

      Thanks for your candid feedback. Flippancy in regards to the concerns of our employees is certainly the exact opposite of what we strive for. When our employees offer feedback, it helps to provide insight and transparency on where we’re getting it right, but also where we can course correct and improve. It is definitely something that we listen to and take seriously. Any service that has reached our size and stage must adapt. We are working through some growing pains and certainly leadership has gotten some things wrong, but we have a strong foundation on which to build and our goal is to continue to get smarter about our operations and allow some of the great folks we've hired and continue to hire, to ignite positive change and inspire our people. We must also adapt to new industry issues that arise e.g. issues such as clickbait and attempts from those who choose to try and deceive and manipulate. As with similar instances that have arisen in our industry in the past, we are fully aware that mere words on the matter won’t suffice and we have tried to take meaningful action over the years to measure ourselves honestly and transparently. It's not always going to be easy, but we will keep working to get better and better as we scale and it's important that we retain a positive outlook as we work through these challenges.Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and for the many contributions you made to Outbrain.

      Pros

      WFH, and free food of course.

      Cons

      1. Tons of lay offs 2. Massive amounts of people leaving from upper management, and lower end roles 3. No clear future insight, management can't see to figure out how to keep company profitable 4. Management doesn't understand that Corporate America doesn't view Outbrain as Google.

      Thank you for posting about your experience at Outbrain. Obviously, I never like to hear this type of feedback and am sorry your experience was not great. As was well documented in the industry press, we recently realigned a small part of our team so we could focus on areas of the business that are poised for rapid growth. Processes like this are never easy, but we felt it is the right move for the business at this time.

      Aggressive sales goals, misogynistic culture - NY office

      Account executive

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Auxiliary benefits like phone bill/gym paid, etc. Hefty T&E. they got acquired so there's job security.

      Cons

      Goals are absolutely outrageous - 100% YOY when people didn't even hit goal last year (not sure about offices outside of NY). CEO and others especially are misogynistic, perverted, and creepy. don't expect promotions or raises, even after two years.

      It’s great that you like some of the benefits we have here at Teads. Hopefully you have had the chance to take advantage of some of our other benefits such as unlimited vacation, MetroCard reimbursement, soccer/kickball team membership, etc We are really shocked and disappointed to hear your negative feedback as we do not accept this type of behavior here at Teads. We have a very strong set of company values which shape our exceptional culture. We foster an environment of creativity and positive attitudes and believe that everything we do reflects that. We are really proud to have been named Inc. Best workplace 2017. When it comes to goals we believe in pushing the limits to be the best and have year on year success as a company. This means that our goals can seem more aggressive than conservative but with that comes a challenging and rewarding career. Honest and open communication has helped us to maintain a successful company, so we invite you to come and speak to us.
