If you're a hard-working, talented and accountable employee, you'll thrive -Strong, experienced leadership -Overall, really cool people who are fun -Good interdepartmenal communication

-Noting major comes to mind outside of the occasional startup pain points. It's a small company right now, so of course there are some resource challenges -Some processes need tightening, but that's also typical of early stage companies -Benefits could be a little bit better but that will probably improve with time

Not much really. The people you work with (not management) are generally cool and smart and they’re tackling an interesting problem in the ad tech space.

A lot of the core people have worked together before so it’s a super clique-y environment and it’s very obvious that people are talking about you all the time if you’re not in with them. And because everyone’s worked together before, they have very specific ideas of how things should be done and they don’t accept anything else. People have been cursed out before and expected to just brush it off and keep going. They claim to be fast paced and nimble but the product is super juvenile in the market and most of the time doesn’t satisfy what clients are asking for. They just have good sales people that promise things way ahead of when they’re ready but product is never able to catch up so you’re basically always behind and clients are always unhappy. There is no process for anything and you basically can’t expect anyone to have your back. You just need to make it work on your own, which is fine in some places but at such a small company you need to be able to rely on your teammates. They keep saying you should be able to ask for help and communicate but if you do it’s seen as a weakness. They’re trying to do too much at once and never have a solid foundation of anything they’re building before jumping to the next random thing the CEO thinks of. No structured career progression, you work on whatever needs to be worked on so you have no clear goals (or they change every few weeks) and if you get lucky they decide to promote you randomly. But you don’t get recognized for additional work and you’re expected to be always on and responsive. CEO will email you on the weekends. And terrible benefits. Overall: messy, disorganized, NOT unique or satisfactory product offerings, poor management and internal communication, undervalued certain employees (arguably worse than if everyone was unappreciated as a whole). Management has no idea what goes on in the day to day and just breeze in and out without fully understanding their clients or the state of business.
