Pros

- Work-Life Balance - Managers are communicative, but sometimes they don't know all the answers - due to lack of direction from higher-ups - Don't like your teammates/manager - wait for 6 months, there will be a re-org.

Cons

- Constant Stress, if you have a job next day - Same annual increment, for the most hard working and the worst employee of the company. - Certain leadership have been with the company for less than 1 year. They don't understand the history of the company, nor why products/systems are designed the way it is. They have been picking people to layoff. - Reorgs, that make no sense. VPs are begin asked to report to Directors. - Engineering team, is almost left with no engineers, only managers. - SVPs make a strong statements at the town-hall, next month they turn around and do the exact opposite - Lots of favoritism begin shown to some employees. - Constant layoffs (3 in 2 quarters of 2019) - No retention plans, even for essential employees. - Tech Stack is outdated

Pros

[This review is coming from a former Rentrak employee, working out of Portland.] - There are interesting problems to solve, in a variety of areas. No shortage of work to be done. - Smart, engaged co-workers

Cons

- There are high-level directives from top executives but daily tasks seem unfocussed. There doesn't appear to be clear direction from mid-level management. - An aging technology stack is kept working with minimal investment in upkeep. Scattered efforts to improve or replace our stack have failed to coalesce into real change. Bugs can exist for years without efforts to squash. - Many of the best engineers from Rentrak have left since the buyout. - Upper management seems to have a severe case of ADD, distracted by the latest flashy thing. They don't seem involved in the day-to-day work. - 401k match and benefits are pretty weak for the industry and location.
