Pros

Fun company outings. Flexible work schedule. Good compensation.

Cons

This is Glass Door and let's be candid here. Visible Measures was originally an analytics company which helped brands understand how their long form branded video content was being consumed on the web. When they pivoted to a media company and tried to bring analytics and paid distribution of video together it got wonky very quickly. A novel idea but it caused great confusion in the marketplace and execution of the model was terrible. Fundamentally the Visible Measures distribution model was nothing more than a glorified video Ad Network. They were buying video media on other SSP's and using other platforms to execute across so called custom site lists and deep publisher relationships where they were quote "In the Video Player" Ummm....I can go much deeper here on what was going on behind the scenes after deals were struck but the shiny object they were selling was not what was actually being delivered upon. Some agencies and brands must have finally caught on and must be one of many reasons the company has had such massive erosion and turnover. This is all the fault of executive leadership. Executive leaderships was bad news, absolutely cocky and thought they could put down competitors who are now eating their lunch.

Pros

The employees all complain about the same things

Cons

I joined the company almost 4 years ago when it tried to value its employees. And then we did not get sold, there were massive layoffs and the company changed management, more layoffs and then changed management and has never been able to come back. It is really a company that prides itself on its analytics but at this point all its competitors have surpassed them and they have no competitive advantage. Instead the company is always trying to chase the money and makes promises to brands that they cannot deliver on. I stuck around to really see what would happen and it just got sadder and sadder as the engineers are overworked and understaffed and they don't bring in fresh young talent. Management will give you false hope of the future of the company, but we all knew the truth :(

Pros

Some nice people. But this won't post with out a twenty word minimum so I will keep typing until it does.

Cons

Lionshare of sellers haven't made goals in over a year. CFO blames sales but handcuffs any type of entertainment expenses and makes it tough for sellers to break into the market. One particular month we were limited to $600 each. This is NYC not Idaho. Very limited marketing or in house support. Sellers spend too much time in the office vs being on the street. NY sales lead is a does not know how to strategize, mentor, manage a sales team or manage up to protect his people. A lot of yelling in meetings which may make him feel feel better, but it doesn't motivate anyone. Disgruntled sales people who are paid a VERY low base with promises of BIG commissions which are non existent. Multiple incidents of commissions and expenses NOT being paid at all. One last thing...any positive reviews of this company are FALSE. The CEO sent an email asking current employees to leave positive reviews.
