Pros

Amazon Fresh and the fully stocked pantry was about the only redeeming quality to work at Outbrain's SF offices.

Cons

Managers only take the time to sit down and provide criticism but do not listen when "team" members voice new solutions to problems. Outbrain is the type of employer where people are only looking out for their own career advancement and aren't genuinely passionate about the work or industry.

I appreciate the feedback and I am disappointed to hear your negative experience with your role. We realize that this has been a fast paced and challenging year as we’ve continued to grow and scale globally. We are committed to keeping the lines of communication open and to further empowering our employees to share their views and shape the culture of their local offices, but we still have some work to do to get that right long-term. We take all comments and opinions very seriously and are doing our best to scale the company without losing our identity. Inter-office travel has always been a core way that we have supported this effort and a way to share our culture and connect our people across the globe. In view of your feedback, this is something that we’ll review again to see what improvements we might make. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback and for your many contributions to Outbrain.

Pros

- Really nice people who enjoy being around one another and are always willing to help. - Lunch on wed, decent benefits, dogs!

Cons

Ok, I have been here a while. Loved it at first, have seen a lot. Now I have to say... These people have no idea what they're doing anymore. - The turnover this year has been ridiculous. What kind of company are you running? - Leadership, both middle and executive, are misguided and uncaring. Very little transparency about the company direction. Stop with the "lighthouse". - Politics rule. You have to play the game to win the prize. Less talented people are favored based on relationships, which creates a very fraudulent culture. Awful HR dept that definitely is not here to support us, especially the woman running it. They have made things up to get people out. - The comp is not great. Some people are making drastically more than others for doing the same work, which seems extremely unfair and biased. - There is absolutely no "career track" or advancement. No diversity.

Thank you for taking the time to send your feedback on to us. We appreciate hearing about your personal experience and are glad to learn that you like the people culture and some of our more unique work perks! ;-) We recognise that there are areas we need to make improvements on including compensation where we constantly aim to be both fair and competitive. We are currently mid-way through the Annual Salary Review and are conducting analysis such as Gender Pay Gap reporting. If there are specific concerns you have around fairness or preferential treatment of employees by peer/colleagues we 100% need to hear and action these. We would be happy to have a face to face meeting or alternatively we also have an anonymous Whistleblowing hotline that can be used if prefered. https://www.lighthouse-services.com/_StandardCustomURL/LHILandingPage.asp Once again thank you for the feedback, we take positive and negative feedback very seriously and are dedicated to making improvements.

Pros

Company is still growing at a fast pace despite industry competition People are friendly and reasonable when it comes to work-life balance Benefits are good - Some 401k match, healthcare options, PTO, some summer Fridays, free lunch once a week, in-office happy hour once a week, breakfast/snacks available every day, free gym membership, game/break room Company has transitioned in the past 2-3 years from a disorganized startup to a more proper corporate structure without losing touch of its culture and vision

Cons

Company is still not mature, so experience can vary a bit from team to team Company expectations are pretty high (although this could be seen as a good thing) Promotions can come and go; company is pretty small so opportunities can vary
