Pros

- Excellent work life balance - Fast paced - Solid opportunity to gain exposure to AdTech industry

Cons

- Very low salary, way below market rate - Raises will be cost of living, don't expect actual promotion raises even if you get new title - Highly disorganized/dysfunctional corporate culture which stems from C-Level downwards - Generally inadequate middle management without experience or ability to manage teams and individuals - Poor investments into companies that have no panned out Summary: Mediaocean is a sinking ship. They sold themselves to Vista in order to get cash to acquire some companies with products that they hoped would become "stars" for them. Instead those acquired companies have basically failed and haven't generated any revenue so to speak. The company survives through the continued dependence on their very old cash cow software which is ripe for disruption. Do not take a job at Mediaocean unless you have no other options what-so-ever. This is a sinking ship. You will be overworked, underpaid and watch as this company gets acquired again.
