Pros
Like most places, there are some good intentions to promote a meaningful company culture and earnestly serve customer needs. There are some good groups and individuals that take Basis values personally and make working here pleasant. It varies across groups, but work hours and expectations are generally pretty flexible...maybe too flexible.
Cons
Too much emphasis focused on optics and image. In the end, the culture is somewhat like a high school popularity contest while the Basis Platform is antiquated and sloooooooow to improve. Verifiably, Basis Platform has been marketing itself as this unique omnichannel solution for years, but it's never been effectively able to do that. And it won't be able to for years to come if ever. Employees and clients know that Basis Platform is used mainly for the DSP programmatic channel and not much else. All Digital? One Platform? Not really. This is a reflection of what it's like to work here. They have this "great place to work" award, but as some of you may know, that award doesn't always paint an accurate picture. All that shows is that company has successful been able to get enough people to subjectively check the right boxes on surveys. Perhaps by offering so much flexibility and catering to certain interests, while neglecting more difficult organizational problems. All the drawbacks of working at most companies are here as well. I've seen good people get treated unfairly and undeserving people advance. People will throw you under the bus for personal gain or to hide their mistakes. Frail egos looking for yes-men, sycophants, favoritism, toxic personalities, gas lighting, coasting, etc, it's all here. Self improvement? Often enough, it's play the game and get friendly with the right people and you can do no wrong. Work ethic wins? Maybe sometimes, but not as a general rule. It's not that Basis is particularly bad, it's just that it's not that much better than other places as they claim. There's a lot of emphasis on getting employees to say that they like working here. Meanwhile, the persistent problems related to getting things done for improving the Basis Platform are left unaddressed. You can only get away with that for so long before the business, revenue and employee retention starts to suffer. Basis a great place to work? Overall, not really. It's kind of like Basis Platform. An effective omnichannel solution? No. Not really. It never has been.

Basis.net - A great place to work
Aug. 9, 2022 - Technical Product Manager in Toronto, ONRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
- Company is really focused on employee retention and "boomerangs" (people who leave and come back to the company. Working here will make you feel valued. - The company does not pay lip service to diversity and inclusion, it is integral to everything we do. For example, groups like BasisOUT are run by grassroots LGBTQ+ members who define our own initiatives on a responsive basis, with the support, but not the oversight of HR or management. - The company fully supports hybrid office/remote work. We have an absolutely gorgeous office which I do make use of, but there is no pressure to work from the office, or even from a specific geographical location. This is worth more than gold to me.
Cons
I wasted time working for other companies. I should have applied here sooner.
