Pros

Work from home and that is just about it here

Cons

- The incompetence of Senior management is staggering on the Ops team over in Europe. They have little to no knowledge of the teams underneath them, and quite frankly it is a bit embarrassing. Senior Management members never actually leave, they just move to different departments and spread the toxicity. - If you want to work here, avoid anything OPS related - While in a meeting in 2019, got laughed at by a senior management member when asked about career paths for Operations teams (FYI, there is none). Turns out they actually own their own french village (shocking). - Middle management on commercial teams is very cliquey, unprofessional, and make it very clear that they were promoted due to favoritism. - Salary/ compensation is incredibly noncompetitive for engineering positions, you can find better. - You can expect employees to post to their Instagram story wheel all day while you are slaving away in the endless ocean of Jira tickets. - Plan to work with employees who clearly do not know what they are doing, i.e. something as simple as sending files as attachments. - HR is borderline non-existent it takes 3 weeks for them to answer any of your issues. 3 WEEKS. They hire "contractors" to answer and triage your problem, you dont even get a real HR employee. - Still does not know how to retain employees, even though they have "been working on it". Its been 3 years since you started "working on it". A SR Hr representative in 2019 mentioned they dont look to retain employees for more than 3 years. "We cant make them stay" was the direct quote. If an employee leaves within 6-12 months, then they will start looking into why recruiting is failing....What. This is baffling.

Pros

Solid, well-engineered advertising product that performs well in the market and should lead to a happy healthy business outlook.

Cons

While French management team is strong with vision and execution, business leads in London are uneven and US management was the worst. Workplace was paranoid and depressing even as the company marched towards its IPO, and degenerated after that. Not a happy place. Most US leadership has been blown out since then but the negative afterglow is a lot to overcome.

Hello - thank you for your feedback. It saddens us to see a review like this. With the rapid growth that we are seeing, there is a lot of new leadership in place, and a LOT of first time managers who are learning themselves, of course this comes with challenges for our employees. For you. We are keen to fix this, and your feedback here goes to the heard of the Power Up empowerment project we've launched. In 2016, we're also focusing more on training our managers to be better managers, exactly because of the feedback you've mentioned here. If you have other suggestions, please do reach out to local HR. Your feedback is critical to us.
