Pros

Company culture built from legacy values Competent employees who are willing to work hard to see the company succeed Benefits are really great NY and Dublin office locations are great G Suite, Slack, Salesforce, Asana

Cons

CEO: Toby's true leadership colors have shown with how he handled the lead up to and the layoffs of 174 employees (30% of total). What a let down from our "CEO". Please treat us as adults and be transparent. Robot reading poorly written speeches did not create confidence or show that you cared about what was to come. You have lost employee faith. Unrealistic timelines for company wide initiatives: Leadership have ideas that sound good, but no idea how to effectively lead their departments to work together to create successful and on time launches. Examples of this are the delayed rollout of RollWorks and the delayed rebrand from AdRoll Group to NextRoll; delays to CPQ rollout; and delays to SaaS initiatives. Incompetent people in high places: The layoffs highlighted protection of upper management. This was an opportunity to push out certain upper management and show faith in the competent/tenured/company-driven lower level employee. Instead you chose to keep 99% of upper management. Leadership strongly needs to identify those SVPs, VPs, and Sr. Directors who are not competent department heads, and ultimately, not trusted by their own teams (or other departments). Lack of D&I at the top: There is a visible boys' club at the top. And it's uncomfortable. Salaries/Promotions: Salaries offered are lower than industry. Getting a pay rise/promotion can be hard, even for those who place in the highest performance brackets. Favoritism is shown. Other: - No 401k match - SF HQ location could be better/safer - After 12+ years this global company is still a relative unknown in the global tech space. - The company name is NextRoll. It has "troll" in it. - As shown by what has happened with COVID19, leadership had/have no contingency plan.

Pros

When I first started it had an amazing culture, great leadership who knew what they were doing and where they were going. I gained a lot of lifelong friends from working here. The salary ended up being very good as well, but that's where the pros end.

Cons

I would encourage anyone considering joining this company to do extensive due diligence before accepting an offer. The organization has experienced repeated layoffs year after year, including the elimination of roughly 40% of the workforce within the last six months. Despite years of stagnant revenue, leadership's primary response has been continued cost-cutting rather than investing in meaningful growth or innovation. The company currently has no Chief Revenue Officer, and it's difficult to ignore that several senior leaders appear to be openly exploring opportunities elsewhere. Many of these challenges appear to stem from leadership's unwillingness to listen to frontline employees and customer-facing teams who consistently raised concerns about changing market conditions. Instead of adapting, leadership remained committed to an outdated strategy, allowing competitors to move ahead. The company is now scrambling to catch up to a market it once had the opportunity to lead. Perhaps the most frustrating aspect is the disconnect between leadership's messaging and its actions. Employees are routinely told they're doing an exceptional job, only to be met with yet another round of layoffs. At the same time, experienced, long-tenured employees who helped build the business are replaced with lower-cost hires, who often face the same fate in subsequent reductions. This cycle has significantly eroded trust, morale, and institutional knowledge. From my perspective, there has been little strategic difference between the current CEO and the previous one. The focus continues to be on reducing headcount rather than executing a clear vision for sustainable growth. Before accepting a position here, I would carefully evaluate the company's long-term direction, leadership stability, and employee retention.
