Pros
While there are tons of reasons I love working at LiveRamp, there are three things I appreciate most:
1. My fellow LiveRampers are easily some of my favorite people in the world. I think this is due to two very important things: (A) my colleagues are incredibly talented: super competent at their jobs, very thoughtful, and super hungry to grow and improve themselves. (B) They're really, really nice. LiveRampers are kind, compassionate, funny, empathetic, humble, and easy to get along with. These two things in combination make for an amazing culture of collaboration.
2. There's so much opportunity to grow not just within your role at the company, but also more broadly as a human. Through the challenges I've had the opportunity to work on at LiveRamp, I've grown more as a person than I could've meaningfully imagined when I first joined. I've come to appreciate this more and more the longer I've worked here.
3. There are really interesting, really hard technical challenges. Every good engineer loves tough problems. At LiveRamp, we have lots of them. We detail with enormous amounts of data, and have had to reinvent the way we process it a number of times to deal scale. People have a ton of responsibility, and each individual can have an enormous impact on the success and trajectory of the company.
Cons
A side-effect of moving as quickly as we do is that things sometimes break. Sometimes these systems are mission-critical and have to be fixed right away. Fire fighting isn't a lot of fun, and it's something we have to deal with. That said, it's something we're actively aiming to improve, and we've already come a long way in making this better.
