Pros

The members are great and getting to mix with a cross section of the industry helps have a well rounded view of what is really happening across many issues online is facing.

Cons

Management. I have witnessed multiple occasions where smart and capable senior employees have been gaslit. In two cases savagely and in all cases they have been women. There was hope that with a change at the top the bullying approach would also but it’s worse which is why there is a mass exodus of staff.

Pros

You will build a good network across the advertising ecosystem.

Cons

Leadership is narrow minded and shortsighted. Motivated by money you will only advance if you agree blindly and don't raise the issues with discrimination and the bullying culture. Staff churn is at an all time high and many of us were just waiting it out for better roles to land. Profit is king and the coven at the top reap the rewards and not the the teams who deliver. I was not aware of how toxic the company until I started in a new company with effective leadership and can now see how terribly teams were treated.

Pros

I understand. We all need to work and this company seems OK. You can overlook the poor rating and say it will be different for you. And it could be. Certainly, if you need work what does some anonymous internet person think they are telling you to walk away? But I ask you to look at yourself in the mirror. Are you good at what you do? Do you want to make a real difference? Are you seeking recognition and rewards for your efforts? Then this in NOT the place for you.

Cons

Trust me and the talented professionals who have left this place. Just go someplace else now. This business is not good. You should find someplace that will make you feel your time and your work is valued. You should get paid what you are worth. You should trust the direction and the stability of management. And you cannot do that at IAB. If it were only incompetence, maybe it could be understood. And while incompetence runs rampant, there are actually those who actively work to destroy careers and families. Keep looking. Or at least get a ton of dough. And keep looking. In my tenure, there were lots of people who, without notice or severance, were let go. No reviews. No improvement plans. No discussions at all before being walked to the door. So even if you take the job, you have to keep looking for something else. They have two hands on that rug under your feet and are just waiting to rip it out from under you. You deserve better.
