Pros
-Free lunch on Mondays -Worked with some intelligent team members in ad tech and programmatic
Cons
- Completely unstable company with executive management that makes knee jerk reactions and feels above having to retain tier 1 level clients. - Major accounts being run out of UK by inexperienced employees in their mid 20s that have been promoted to senior titles has created major management issues. - Terrible pay for UK employees. - Nothing special about the tech/bidder. Cheap inventory and IM cashes out on large margins. Not forward thinking and tech builds were usually client requests or replications of what other companies have already done. CTO was painful to work and added nothing of value - any client issue was handled with a response to “calm down”. -HR/People team was highly disorganized and not well versed in basic HR functions here in the US. After the US office was shutdown, team did not receive final pay for over 10 days after scheduled date and employees have still not received unemployment benefits due to lack of/incorrect response from their team. - Cheap. This is the resounding word that describes IM. - IM wants to be global, but cannot make outer offices work. Chicago was the 3rd office shutdown by IM along with Paris and Germany. I’d be concerned if I was in their Singapore office. -IM going through an agency 2.0 transition with little to zero input or direction from executive management on how to make the transition work for teams actually responsible for executing.
