Viant Reviews

The founders have no empathy to its workers and don’t even make an attempt to connect with their workforce. They laid off its employee base just days before Christmas without discussing its financial slate. They don’t have a 401k match and they don’t intend to make that change anytime soon. Non existent compensation philosophy. Some employees are eligible for bonuses and some aren’t without a reason being given. Salary is WAY below market. There are tenured engineers who get paid less than fresh new graduates. No wonder why we can’t hire any talent even though there should be a great opportunity to hire people after the recent tech layoffs. There is no ERG, no emphasis on diversity, the leadership is an all-boys club, there is no rubric on career development. Ad Sales is dying, and they fail to innovate. They’re banking that cookies will disappear. But chances are that Viant will disappear before them.

ATTENTION ADVERTISERS!! -Viant is doing nothing more than robbing you from high quality media. They are literally serving your campaigns with no data applied to the open web. If you're buying into people based solution off Myspace data, you're just another sucker. Your company should fire the employee who is caught buying this washed out Myspace data. This data has ZERO relevancy in user behavior today. -Ask them to run a pure prospecting campaign against a CPA goal to measure the quality of their data. It is with 100% certainty they won't be able to drive any conversions. If Viant is selling you on clicks, engagement rate, or view through rate, it's all due to scripts that initiate fraudulent clicks, engagement rate driven by fraudulent bot activity, and out of view inventory to inflate VTR. Don't allow them to use retargeting either because they are literally just trying to steal attribution to string you along. ATTENTION EMPLOYEES!! -Run as fast as you can. Jump at the next opportunity that knocks. Viant is a sinking ship. Don't commit yourself to any huge financial obligations because you are literally next in line to get laid off. ATTENTION INTERVIEWERS: -If you have to consider a job here, use it as a stepping stone and get out as soon as you can. Don't even think about being loyal to this company. They'll work you to death then layoff you off.
