This is not a hot pre IPO company. Someone may eventually acquire the product but xAd is not sustainable. Why?
Hiring
Friends of executives can be part of an accounting fraud scandal and be hired with open arms. Says a lot about strategic hiring and putting the right people in place to get the company to the next phase. Horrible leaders are hired and great leaders either quit or get fired for voicing any kind of opinion or not adhering to conformity.
Management
Young or inexperience managers leading regions. If you've been with the company for a long time it’s assumed you’re management material. Most managers are better as employees and not leading teams. Others skate by hoping no one will notice they are imbeciles. Those in the lower rungs know these managers are terrible.
Executives
Gross. Morally terrible and lacking ethics. Inquire about the intricate happenings at HQ and you’ll see what I mean. Morally bankrupt. Marketing is ok.
Product
Weak. Great ideas but poorly executed. Definitely not the next Google or Facebook, more like the sad asinine distant cousin. "Brand safety” is the shiny new thing to win advertising dollars and alleviate the on going financial struggles.
Culture/Pillars
Despite having a "culture team" there really is no culture. No one can really define xAd culture but claims it exists. The mantra DTR (Disruptive, Transparent, Relentless) is a complete lie. Especially the T, NO TRANSPARENCY what so ever. This applies to employees and clients. Dear clients, the constant product/pricing releases is to give you a shiny new toy to be pacified by. If you look close it’s all smoke and mirrors. You must thank marketing for this, they rock!
