Pros

Great benefits Intelligent CEO Some wonderful people to work with here and there

Cons

There are execs at the company who have a pattern of bullying, harassing, and manipulating women. They also use classic abuser tactics to silence victims from voicing concerns or even leaving the company. "It will be bad for your brand if you were to leave during an IPO" - Fear mongering "You don't want people to think you left because you couldn't hack it" - Victim shaming "You're being to emotional about this, and it will undermine your credibility" - Blame shifting and invalidating "I've talked with the person about this,but give me time" while doing nothing but informing the person who then retaliates - grooming/regrooming. “There seems to be a misunderstanding or miscommunication . X person didn’t mean Y” - gaslighting/invalidating "Women tend to be more emotional about these types of things(to third parties)" - Victim blaming "Those who have had issues in the past were out to get the person" - Victim blaming. This has been a long-running, and well-documented issue however victims are told to move on without any accountability for perpetrators or enablers, without any truth-telling, or without confronting the damage done to people's careers and mental health. Until the audience is actually confronted, it will just be a regular encore performance.

Pros

I’ve worked at PubMatic for 6 years and it’s been one of the most consistently strong environments I’ve experienced. Leadership is genuinely brilliant, transparent, and inspiring — it’s rare to find executives who are both strategically sharp and straightforward about where the business is headed. The company uses hard data to make tough decisions, which creates clarity and trust even when priorities shift. The people are extremely smart and collaborative, and I’ve worked with some of the best colleagues of my career. Cross-functional teamwork is strong, and there’s a real sense that everyone is trying to solve the problem together (not protect turf). Culture is professional but friendly, and you feel like you’re surrounded by high performers who are still good humans. Also: lunch is provided every day, which is a genuinely appreciated perk.

Cons

PubMatic sets a high bar — it’s a fast-paced environment and expectations are real. If you’re looking for a slow-moving company or coasting culture, this won’t be the best fit.
