Introduction note: all of the below listed cons are specific to the team I was a part of during my tenure at LiveRamp, NOT the organization on a whole:
-Management does not hold everyone accountable to the same level of work, to SLA’s, or to our methodologies.
-Management will say some incredibly unkind and disrespectful things about you behind your back (I only know this because my former manager was accidentally sharing their screen on a call when I was able to visibly see a conversation between my manager and their manager on Slack that had taken place about me - it was not nice). I mentioned this instance to HR but I highly doubt this specific instance will be investigated.
-There is no work/ life balance (management will email you at 8pm asking you to “process work”) and even if/when you let management know that you are drowning in work and spending your evenings online, they will tell you that you can do more (according to their workload calculator spreadsheet that they built out) and will not provide any relief. If you take so much as 3 business days off from work, they will continue to pile on excessive work for your return, making your “flexible PTO” more stressful than work itself.
-There are no growth opportunities. In career discussions, management will tell you that “it takes time” and to “keep stretching yourself.” Meaning that they will ask you to do work that would normally be expected of the next level but without the pay of doing that level of work. And this will continue on until you eventually realize that they have no intentions of ever promoting you.
-You WILL NOT BE RESPECTED in the same way that everyone else is. I could list example after example of these instances.
