Pros

- Competitive salary -Benefits like health and travel insurance, gym sub, travelcard sub -Newest laptops and phones etc -Most importantly, people I worked with were extremely intelligent, with an amazing sense of humour, supportive and passionate about what they do.

Cons

-CEO and his CFO wife are more preoccupied with showcasing their flashy lifestyle rather than caring about the employees -CPO doesn't miss a chance to talk about employees behind their backs about things that are non-work related -Managers are actually terrified of the CEO and therefore are unable to stand up for themselves or their teams -Loads of people struggle to find a work/life balance -HR department is a complete joke Don't be fooled by the attractive slogans and a long list of benefits in the job ad. founders only care about the profits and looking superior in comparison to other tech companies.

Pros

Founder led company who tries to do right by their employees, investors, partners and customers in a competitive ad-tech industry. They had the foresight and passion to lead people to make a revolutionary product at a revolutionary time in the industry. And now they are doing the same again. It can be challenging but they are the same people. Some of these comments about the new product seem critical, and there is some truth to them, but they tend to also ignore the other truths: making a new product is not linear. There's a curve. Sometimes the bend happens earlier, and others later. Right now the new product is buttery smooth and enjoyable to use. And it's getting better! I can feel the bend.

Cons

Founders are real people. They are not Consultants. They are not cookie cutter MBAs. This is not a company where change management happens from disconnected consultants who are paid to be change agents. Instead they invest in us, people with shared motivations and feelings, to be that change. Can it be messy? Yes. Will you need to be the best version of yourself? Yes. Will you become that person? I sure hope so.

Pros

However terrible my experience was, I still feel grateful for the experience. The company’s training was very helpful and informative about digital marketing and advertising. Exposure to different platforms and use of different technologies, equipments, and systems was worthing you won’t get elsewhere.

Cons

Disorganized, discrimination, and management lacking foresight. Less experienced or younger employees were outright disrespected and even bullied by senior employees, also by management! While new employees work hard, often working overtime, and long hours, seniors often come late to work and even leave early. The weight of our workload and responsibilities get heavier because of them! And though we wanted to complain, we can’t even get to do that because we get threatened and bullied, and management as well as HR ignores us blatantly!! Management treats us as expendable so they don’t actually care!!
