Pros

Moloco’s benefits are insanely good. They borrow liberally from Google’s practices of spoiling the individual (noting the strategy behind this is pretty arch).

Cons

This used to be such a promising company where everyone was proud of their work and contributions. Last year, leadership on the business side of the house completely turned over with the addition of Sunil as chief business officer. Where decisions had historically been about data and insights, they became about bias and politics. Where challenges used to be met with collaboration and creativity, they became an opportunity for blame and villainy. Management is now super chaotic and all about platitudes and bluster. And this has all amounted in a company of people all with very, very similar backgrounds. Seriously, if your resume doesn’t scream Google or another similarly prestigious brand, you will have a very hard time, even if your colleagues and stakeholders support your work and your numbers are awesome. As a result, the culture of cronyism is visible throughout the company, and even those in engineering and product (who aren’t otherwise subject to Sunil’s behavior and operating model) feel like Moloco has lost some of its vibrancy and credibility.

Declining in employee morale

Pros

Benefits is the main reason to stay

Cons

No one seems to be happy. Lack of direction and growth. The longer you stay, your mental health will be affected. The veteran employees are getting demoted and eventually on the bottom of the totem pole. Too many senior titles acting like they are in power and no work is being done. No sense of accountability and taking credit for other people’s work. Employee moral has decreased and employee retention is terrible. I would not recommend this company to work at.

Pros

Has a core product that generates enough revenue to fund decent perks and nice offices.

Cons

Lost it's competitive advantage and growth is slowing. Each attempt at diversifying the portfolio has resulted in unremarkable results. Management team believes they can do no wrong and never holds themselves accountable, Completely disconnected and clueless regarding how employees actually feel about them and their performance. People keep smiles on their face for a paycheck, but many are looking to jump ship after the bonus cycle.
