      Pros

      AdKarma positives can be attributed to its dedicated management team who do truly care about the success of individual employees. Along those lines, employees enjoy a strong sense of autonomy in their roles and can clearly see how their contributions play into the success of their teams and the company as a whole. Speaking as a former employee who worked across multiple roles and was promoted to oversee my own team, I can personally speak to AdKarma’s flexibility and willingness to see through on each employee’s unique talents and potential. Effort and ownership of one’s work is not overlooked; it is acknowledged, praised, and rewarded. In short, the ad industry entails its own set of risks in terms of extremely high competition, changes in technology and best practices, etc., which might make careers in this field more volatile than others, but AdKarma strives to create an upbeat and enduring culture wherein success is achievable by all employees. Overall, I’d say AdKarma was a great first professional experience and jumpstart to my career. The company has room to grow and seems to be taking the necessary actions to expand that potential.

      Cons

      AdKarma negatives stem from its pains associated with early rapid growth, subsequent acquisition and widespread industry consolidation concerning its core business. These issues contribute to a sense of urgency in meeting goals which oftentimes seem unrealistic and beg the question of job security when not met. Top level management tries commendably to communicate the bigger picture, but product proliferation, serial acquisitions, and a questionable allocation of resources can at times obscure a sense of unified direction.

      Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you highlighting the contributions that each individual can bring that will have a huge impact on the success of their teams and the company. We definitely strive to find the right fit for each team member in the company, and sometimes that does involve team members moving positions to ensure they maximize their talents and reach their full potential. While there are challenges and risks in any industry, as well as growing pains when a company experiences rapid growth, there are also new, untapped opportunities. We are fortunate to work in an industry that is projected to have a 15% compound annual growth rate over the next five years (faster than any other industry). So while there will always be challenges to overcome, by working together as a team, we can uncover new opportunities to explore and capitalize on. Again, thank you for your feedback. – Best, Ann Wilhelm, SVP Operations

      Pros

      AdKarma is a pivotal player in the continually evolving digital advertising industry. This ad tech company provides team members with the unique opportunity to grow in a dynamic business that is international in scope. The fast paced environment of the office is ideal for driven, self-motivated, and high performing individuals. Team members that demonstrate these qualities are entrusted with projects and initiatives early on in their career that have a visible impact on the entire organization. One of the greatest benefits of working at AdKarma is the upper management team. Senior managers are committed to the growth & success of all employees at the company. Each manager has an open door policy and is always willing to meet with team members to discuss individual goals/challenges. It is a rarity for a company's senior officers to genuinely value the opinions of its employees, however, this can be said of both AdKarma and its parent organization, RhythmOne. AdKarma's SVP sincerely cares about the career growth of all employees. During my first two weeks of training at AdKarma, the SVP personally checked in with me multiple times to discuss how the training process was going and provide encouragement. Additionally, RhythmOne's CEO is committed to open communication, frequently having "fireside chats" with the entire organization to ensure transparency. This type of support and communication has continued throughout my time with the company. For those that are interested in beginning a successful career in Ad Tech, I recommend AdKarma.

      Cons

      Sometimes, the individual projects you are working on can become stressful, however, management does an excellent job of providing support and boosting your morale.

      Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate the recognition of our dedicated team members, as well as the wonderful opportunities this exciting industry affords us. Also, your comment about the industry continually evolving is correct. A new adventure awaits us every day! While it can be exhilarating at times, there can also be those days that are the exact opposite as you mentioned. However, our team strives to provide the support and guidance especially on those “tougher” days, knowing that the following day, a new adventure awaits. Again, thank you for your feedback. – Best, Ann Wilhelm, SVP Operations
