Pros

Cool technology, amazing non-leadership people, great services organization, data science team is awesome, sales team has some of the best sales reps and nicest people I've ever worked with

Cons

Leadership is completely devoid of empathy and respect despite their lip service. They laid off ~20 people on Zoom in groups of ~5 - not even individually after all the individuals contributed. No respect whatsoever. A complete disgrace. They talk all the hot air about respect etc. but they DO NOT respect or value you. The Chief Commercial Officer Abed Farhan ran a team of 9 people and didn't have one-on-one conversations with his team - how can you call yourself a leader and not talk to your team? He's nothing but a cheerleader. Sales leadership has no clue what they're doing and everyone knows it. Poor leadership and inability to lead the team is a huge risk for the company. Sales leadership is in way over their head. The lack of financial growth speaks for itself - the sales team never hits their quarterly targets, even when they LOWER the targets to try and save face. It's the elephant in the room nobody mentions at monthly company meetings. It's a ticking time bomb and it will all comes crashing down soon enough - I am "positive" about that. Their entire "hail Mary" long-term strategy is to get acquired and it shows. This is another elephant in the room at Lytics. Stay far, far, far away from this sinking ship of an organization with the worst, most toxic leadership team I have ever had the misfortune of working under.

Pros

Has been a great company to work for

Cons

Easy to get wrapped in work I cared about so it blurred lines between work and personal. They are wonderful about self care though.

Pros

* Good benefits. 401K, health (including HSA eligible plans), dental, and untracked PTO (~2 wks suggested). * Good coworkers. Everyone was friendly and willing to work together to get things done. Back when we were in the office the CEO would come around occasionally just to check in with everyone. * Relaxed management style. None of the managers were the type to micro manage people, they would give any support needed, but wouldn't hover or bother you if you didn't need/ask for it.

Cons

* Volatile market. It's a startup so it is easily affected by market downturns. It's also in marketing, which is particularly sensitive to market fluctuations.
