Pros
[This review is coming from a former Rentrak employee, working out of Portland.] - There are interesting problems to solve, in a variety of areas. No shortage of work to be done. - Smart, engaged co-workers
Cons
- There are high-level directives from top executives but daily tasks seem unfocussed. There doesn't appear to be clear direction from mid-level management. - An aging technology stack is kept working with minimal investment in upkeep. Scattered efforts to improve or replace our stack have failed to coalesce into real change. Bugs can exist for years without efforts to squash. - Many of the best engineers from Rentrak have left since the buyout. - Upper management seems to have a severe case of ADD, distracted by the latest flashy thing. They don't seem involved in the day-to-day work. - 401k match and benefits are pretty weak for the industry and location.
