Pros

There seems to be an endless supply of funding There is a lot of cool tech being played with Cox has really generous benefits

Cons

The company cannot execute, every deadline is missed and its not going to change PMO has overrun the company and reports directly to the president More politics and backstabbing than the Game of Thrones No profit in 3 years and probably not for many more years to come Constant rumors about RIF

Thank you for your honesty. Your feedback has been heard and we are discussing this internally. Like most startups, we know we’ve had our issues delivering on-time but have also seen very good progress scaling the business recently and improving our internal processes. A company culture that is politically driven is certainly not the environment we want. I would encourage you to confidentially speak to someone on the leadership team so that we can improve. My door is always open! Shereta Williams, President, Videa.

Pros

This company holds the best of both world's - start-up culture/freedom to innovate and serious backing $$$ by a big company - in the palm of its hands. There are talented people in place to make the platform succeed. Management and even Cox leadership are more than open to hearing suggestions and they genuinely want to empower employees to drive Videa to succeed, which it will. There is a fairly flexible work schedule, generally nice people from a cross-section of industries - tv, advertising and tech - all (mostly) working together to deliver a programmatic solution and grab a large slice of what promises to be a huge market. Benefits are excellent; laid back atmosphere; good perks (WFH policy depending on department; monthly lunches; stocked snack room, with keg, candy jars, volunteer opptys etc.). Ongoing opportunities to learn if you want to.

Cons

Can be somewhat siloed, but this is changing for the better. There are some small growing pains happening with the platform that are typical for software development. But for the employees who do not come from a software background, this can be frustrating.

Thank you for your post! We're happy that you're happy! Our flexible work schedule, along with the benefits that Cox brings, is certainly a plus. And we hear you when you say sometimes silos exist. We strive for consistent communication across the company and know we're not completely there yet, but very glad that you're experiencing positive change recently. Thanks again for the feedback!
