Pros
TTD continues to employ the smartest and most well rounded (strong EQ, collaborative, generous) people in the industry. Benefits and investment in development of people are top notch. Compensation is especially good for those joining externally as we are finally competing with the market for talent from places like meta, Amazon, and Google. The underlying tech and breadth of integrations are strong.
Cons
Senior leadership has rapidly declined due to inability to provide clear direction or make key decisions when confronted with inconvenient truths about the market, leading to falling behind competition and losing due to issues that were clearly flagged. There is a culture of fear and dysfunction at the top that while the best leaders try to shield their teams from, it is becoming harder to manage.
