Pros

Interactive and engaging content that performs well for publishers and brands. Solid funding. Disney-backed. Great office space in Chelsea/Flatiron. Upbeat company culture, the team genuinely enjoys spending time together. Weekly happy hours, team lunches and fun outings. All expense paid trip to Tel Aviv to meet the team (once in a lifetime experience - big perk)! Dog friendly office. Great company benefits, overall.

Cons

As with any "young" company there are growing pains, but the Founders and management team is proactive and transparent about their strategy.

Pros

Great snacks, a select few employees are really amazing and I'm lucky to work with them everyday. Please note, most of the good reviews on here are about other offices, not NYC.

Cons

Lack of direction, high turnover rate, toxic HR. Product is sub-par with NYC standards. Playbuzz has a history of hiring and laying off people within a few months (or even days at HQ). They've let about 40% of us go over the last 6 months. It's common practice to lie to potential employees during the hiring process about the state of the business before bringing them on-board. Due to chaotic lay-offs and firings, we have residual fear of being let go nearly everyday. Claims to have amazing benefits and cover health insurance, but copays are $30 and $50. Israeli management working in the NYC office doesn't really talk to us Americans. It's weird as we all sit in the same room (it's not that big of a room).
