Pros

There are free snacks in the kitchen to help offset low pay and nonexistent work-life balance. Free beer helps numb the rest.

Cons

Unified terms itself a data company, but commoditized proprietary tech is years away at best. For now revenue is centered on managed services which are direly overextended--expect to work 65-70 hour weeks with minimal supervision and development at pay below industry standard. No road map for acquisition or IPO, visible butting of heads between departments and self-congratulatory leadership. Suffering from untenable startup culture and growth-at-all-costs mindset. Inability to say no to clients and investors makes them vulnerable to being yanked in regrettable, shortsighted directions. Hiring is almost entirely referral-based and nepotism is rampant. You'll find countless high school and college buddies criminally under-performing, even at management level, and never held accountable. Sales team is poorly staffed which led to emergency re-orgs on short notice. Diversity is nonexistent; at one point we had one black person among 175 employees.

Pros

Campaign management team was a solid place to learn different DSP's and skills. Good PTO, medical benefits, and work life balance.

Cons

Below market pay with raises extremely difficult to get. Awful training and systems on account management teams. Thrown into the fire and expected to create brand new systems without training or support. Team is being held together by duct tape and bubblegum. Does not keep up with tech and AI integration/new tech. iHeartMedia owns Unified so any system changes/promotions go through a ton of bureaucracy. Use of slack and teams, maintaining Microsoft and google emails and communications was chaotic. Management plays favorites and is scared to ruffle feathers in order to promote growth/positivity. Lots of gossip and complaining about coworkers. No company culture or incentives, meet ups, offsets, perks. The work is overall extremely boring and not gratifying.
