Outrigger Media Response
10y
We at OpenSlate are never happy about an employee’s negative work experience here. The many demands of a fast-growing environment (we’ve tripled our team and revenue over the past 12 months) might not be right for everyone. That said, we have experienced ZERO voluntary turnover in the past 3 years and are incredibly proud of the culture and team that’s here. Come meet us and see.
I've been at OpenSlate (aka Outrigger Media) for a year and am impressed with the product (YouTube data and analytics targeting and optimization), the leadership (smart, experienced and talented CEO, CRO, CMO and CTO), the people, the office environment and our success. I have worked at three previous start-ups and saw smart people doing stupid things. This is the best of all worlds!
Cons
Like any start-up, there are fits and starts that are challenging for employees used to working in more mature businesses. The excitement with our growth, product enhancements and success keeps us motivated.
Working for a start up allows you to take advantage of C level advice and a close knit team
Superior product (OpenSlate) versus the others in market, great for sales!
