Pros

The teammates were generally good to work with Decent work-life balance One of the better known software product companies in Baltimore Great if you're a univ of Virginia alumni

Cons

After a layoff round earlier this year that saw the company headcount drop by 10% (the CEO and co claimed it to be a restructure to be more product/engineering focused but it was clearly to reduce costs to show profit for future IPO/sale purposes), the Glassdoor rating is now higher than ever- how ? It seems there were 5 (!!!) * 5 star rating reviews on October 3rd with very generic terms in it whereas you usually see a review every 10-30 days. The leadership seems to have "missed the bus". Should have sold/IPO'ed while they still could- the DSP market is getting cannibalized/commoditized and the barrier to entry is non-existent Inter-department politics is very high. People are eager to pass the responsibility The CEO mostly has the same old crew from his old company. Old boys' club.

Thank you for your review of Videology! We truly value the feedback from our current and former employees. While we’re happy to hear that you enjoyed your teammates and our work culture, we’re very sorry that some of your experiences - and our Glassdoor ratings - left you feeling concerned. We want to take this opportunity to provide additional clarity to some of the statements you made in your review. As you can see from our Glassdoor site, we are very active in providing a real look into Videology’s work culture… and we understand the voice that Glassdoor’s platform has given us. That’s why we’re considered an “Open Company” by Glassdoor! Providing such a transparent look into our world includes giving current and former employees the opportunity to express their unfiltered views of our company. That way, we’re giving potential candidates a real glimpse into what it’s like to work for Videology and attracting those who like what they see. On Glassdoor, we’ve enlisted the platform’s best practice of enthusiastically encouraging employees, including senior management, to write reviews about our company. There’s no cherry-picking….no bribes….nada. What you’re reading on Glassdoor is a genuine – whether favorable or not – take on our company. As we’ve stated before, Videology is made up of a truly diverse workforce from a variety of schools, experiences, and locations…who hold various positions with us. We’re very proud of our team and the culture they’ve created. We ask our current employees to utilize various means to provide us with feedback; we also ask them to be solutions-oriented with us to generate the most positive employee experience imaginable. We have some big goals to achieve in 2017 and we feel pretty confident in our ability to transcend the competition through our uniquely converged software. And, as always, we encourage our employees to reach out – through Glassdoor or our other avenues – to let us know how we can do better, for them. Best wishes for a successful 2017!
