Pros

Well stocked pantry, free food, drinks and snacks. Health insurance coverage is very good. Colleagues are very friendly.

Cons

The problem lies with management - from senior leadership to regional directors. There is no vision and most often they are still trapped in their "start up and almighty bubble". A lot of customers are already writing the company off. Very biased HR and no due process given to employees - they just side with management. Sometimes salary delay. No firm decision making and "speed wins" means they can change decisions in a matter of hours. Limited career. If you are not ambitious you can stay here.

Thank you for the review although this is a difficult feedback to read. This is not the type of experience that we want anyone on our team to have. You have expressed several important concerns and I believe a more in-depth conversation would be beneficial. I encourage you to connect with your HR Business partner or me directly for a deeper discussion. As a company founded on the principal of transparency, we work hard to ensure that our vision, strategy and processes are shared with all levels of the organization. Our quarterly all hands meetings and monthly sync ups both provide a lot of valuable information about these topics. You have made a great suggestion on having 360 degree feedback. We agree that this type of feedback is critically important and had added it to our performance review process last year. I encourage you to connect with your HRBP or manager if you have not yet gone through our performance review cycle. Thank you for your feedback again, and I welcome a time for further discussion. Cindy Tan, VP Display Ad Sales

Pros

The pace and work/ life balance are very manageable and they are still pro remote work which is a huge benefit as a lot of companies push return to office. The benefits and salaries are great compared to the industry standards.

Cons

Lots of turmoil, changeover, layoffs and chaos caused by a recent re-org. ELT does not have vision or innovation outside of “AI” and it’s hard to feel confident about the long term success of the company. Lots of white men who lack creativity.
