Pros
The company has a great record of hiring excellent, talented staff. Most people were genuinely nice to be around - a rarity in advertising.
Cons
Where to start? A fundamentally sketchy, dishonest company that has no interest in staff retention. Most troubling is the refusal to pay ANYONE on time, from staff to suppliers to media partners. Crimtan often receives large sums of client money meant for media buying, and then does not pay that publication for over a year. The quote "where does all the money go?" could not be more apt for Crimtan.
The company has frequently misrepresented its finances, to everyone from tax authorities to clients and publishers - and it is only a matter of time before a serious audit brings it down. This may already be underway, even.
Aside from all this, career progression is poor. Middle management employs a rules-for-me, but-not-for-thee mentality, regularly flouting the working abroad rules whilst imposing this on junior staff. The promised world-class training is poor, and roles are highly siloed into either trading across Programmatic media or Client Services, arguably dangerous given the poor future outlook for Programmatic advertising. No opportunities to expand into other forms of paid media as the company solely understands black-box opaque programmatic margins.
