Pros

Nice office with good location downtown

Cons

Very cliquey development team. Senior members of the development team not willing to help new hires get familiar with the software. On boarding program is set up like a competition against each other with graded test / code projects ect... (Similar to college exams) Very odd.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences here at Mediaocean. I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy our Development Bootcamp and on-boarding process. Both the Development, and Learning and Development teams strive to create a Bootcamp environment where you are challenged and mentored as you learn more about our products and engineering philosophies. The Bootcamp is a very rigorous 12 week program which is designed to partner you with a mentor to share knowledge and build a foundation for your time here. We do not share scores amongst our cohorts and assessments are only used to push yourself and measure your own progress as you learn and grow over the 12 week time period. Mentors are asked by management to provide thoughts and insight to their Mentees, as well as create a welcoming environment within the Development team. Please feel free to reach out if you have any suggestions in regards to how we can better create a more inclusive and challenging learning environment in our Development Bootcamp moving forward. You can e-mail me any time at BWolf@mediaocean.com
