Pros

Good benefits (except unlimited PTO). Remote work style. Good competitive pay.

Cons

Poor to almost non existent onboarding and poor management on multiple levels from my experience. Managers are incapable of honest feedback which makes it impossible for employees to learn and improve. This behavior is reckless with employees careers and livelihoods. Giving feedback to HR on management doesn't do any good, because at the end of the day, it is the individual contributor that bears the punishment. Unlimited PTO is also not a good benefit to have. "Unlimited" means you are expected to be reachable and still work at any time when needed. "Year-round Summer Fridays" were also a perk that were offered at the hiring period, but it sets unrealistic expectations to new hires. The reality is, there is always work to be done to the last hour of each week and managers are not giving teams the option to sign-off early.

Pros

Everyone besides management is wonderful, really skilled and knowledgeable about the ad tech industry and willing to help you. The product is actually cutting edge.

Cons

Management is terrible here, HR is basically non-existent and work life balance might as well be a whisper on the wind. I can tell you for certain that some of these anonymous five star reviews are written by people in the C-Suite trying to keep the ratings of the company up. Claims about "no bureaucracy" and " lots of structure" are straight up lying. There's plenty of red tape and bureaucracy to be found here and absolutely zero structure. Multiple employees who have been here for years are essentially in dead-end positions with no promotions on the horizon because they are stingy with promotions and raises and there is no formal process in place for who gets them. "Priorities shifting quickly" is code for everyone is spread thin, we have no roadmap to success, we are coming up with ideas on the fly and if it's too overwhelming for you, no help is coming - suffer or get put on a PIP that is actually just a firing or layoff waiting to happen. You will also get very little guidance from the people who are supposed to be your managers. You are on your own here. If you are reading this because you are thinking of applying for a position and the thought crosses your mind that only bad employees leave negative reviews and it can't be that bad, please reconsider. It truly is that bad. Would not wish working here on my worst enemy.
