Pros

Very flexible working arrangements. A degree of WFH is no problem for most engineers. Very smart people with a good engineering culture. Sometimes the engineering work can be interesting.

Cons

The company feels like it's lost it's way compared to three years ago, and it's been clear that senior management still haven't figured out what direction they want the company to go in. Layoffs last year were really poorly handled and shook the confidence of those who stayed. Not enough time for engineers to resolve mounting technical debt, due to the pace of new feature work, yet at the same time huge resources have been poured into internal projects that should help engineers radically improve the product, but no-one will take the decision to properly implement.

I recently joined MediaMath (3 months now) and made the decision to come over because I realized early on that the engineering culture here is amazing and quite rare. More importantly, I was super excited about the strategic direction that I heard from the leadership team and I felt that our potential for success is absolutely huge! I think we’re making great strides in communicating that direction internally and in our plans for achieving it. I appreciate your feedback and we will certainly try even harder to improve on the messaging. I’m really impressed by this recent evolution in maturity at a company that is serious about its next stage of growth, and I’m thrilled that you are as passionate about our success as I am. Thank you for your feedback and please don’t hesitate to reach out to me and Wil directly to discuss your ideas and feedback. - Steve
