Pros

I can probably share a different perspective since I used to work for Adknowledge in Australia, then left and rejoined about 2 1/2 years later in a different continent. First of all you notice the difference in the company. It has become a business that is growing up, has a more international feel to it and more structure and vision. That, combined with the fact that they have done 8+ acquisitions and are very profitable really helps to feel they have a big future ahead. On top they have acquired a business which is one of the few strategic partners of Facebook and is in an early stage of becoming a hugely successful business unit. Adknowledge has a lot to offer: an inspiring CEO, a fun workplace, a truly global team of people, exposure to the latest tech trends in mobile, social and video as well as a general openness for change.

Cons

Probably the one thing that has been challenging for me is that in Europe we are still at a very early stage and in startup mode. So, that means we all are extremely busy and have little time for leisure. But then, this also makes it exciting since we are able to grow a business from almost nothing.

Pros

The culture at Adknowledge is unlike any place I have worked in Kansas City. We really embody the phrase "work hard, play hard". There is a contagious energy in the office - everyone strives to come up with better ideas and more innovative strategies than we did the day before. Our industry is always changing, forcing us to adapt with it. No two work days are the same for this reason, which makes coming to work every day much more enjoyable. Employee are rewarded for hard work with tons of perks, like a casual dress code, catered lunches, free soda machines and Starbucks coffee. It is not uncommon to find people shooting pool, playing darts or engaging in a fierce game in the break room throughout the day.

Cons

There are a lot of opportunities to move and change positions throughout the company and to other office locations, but there is somewhat limited opportunity for upward career advancement. Senior management and leadership roles do not become available very often.
