Pros

Ann Arbor office has a great culture. Lots of young people and recent grads leads to casual and fun environment. HR definitely makes an effort to make it a fun place to work. Lots of social events outside of work. Also lots of opportunities for growth. There are lots of examples of people who got promoted or taken on interesting projects outside of their job title not that long after being hired.

Cons

Every vertical/team/office works seemingly independently. I had no idea what people outside of my team, vertical, and office were doing. The CPO, who runs the Ann Arbor office, is a micromanager and wastes a lot of people's time. He doesn't know much about technology or running software development teams (not his background). A lot of the time it seems like the office runs in spite of him.

Pros

HookLogic is becoming a real heavy-hitter in the digital ad space. The company has grown quite a bit since I started there a year ago and shows no signs of slowing down, which can only mean more career opportunities and growth down the road. The office environment is fun, casual and -- as has been my experience -- as long as you get your work done, nobody micromanages.

Cons

The Ann Arbor office can be a bit cliquey. This isn't a deal breaker for me, as I tend to keep my work life and my social life separate, but if you aren't in one of the inner circles, don't expect to get invited to happy hours unless either a) it's a company sponsored event, or b) you find someone who knows and ask them what the plan is. I can see why some of the negative reviews described the office as a "good old boys club," but I would NOT go as far as to say it's like working for a fraternity and getting paid to be hazed, as one of the negative reviews pointed out. At least not on my team.
