Pros

Match has some of the best people in Dallas. Those few folks are dedicated, talented and solve some very difficult problems - and they do it very well.

Cons

The executive team changes frequently (compared to other similar companies) and has often been a closed circle of "friends". Also, be careful about believing leadership when they tell you they have an open door policy or that they welcome your feedback...this is usually only if you wish to give them praise. If you have questions that seem to challenge their leadership (in any way) you are likely to get cut and bruised by the lashing you will take.

Pros

- Only worked there a few months

Cons

- Management was horrible - Mangers & senior directors would change campaigns & ads without telling me/team > then if these changes made the campaigns worse, we would be blamed for it - Everyone was super emotional about their ads/campaigns and took everything personally - No one listened to insight or new ideas - After three months of working there, I still had a manager check what I did every day - Had to put together a weekly report explaining EXACTLY what I did that week - INCREDIBLY MICROMANAGING - You will get 'in trouble' for increasing revenue in a way that your management didn't tell you to do. If you have any ideas on your own, you better keep them to yourself. "In Trouble" means that you will get a super passive aggressive email and told to shut down your campaigns and someone will take you through training again for how to market the way they want you to. - $40k UNDERPAID for position If you have any sort of self respect or intelligence, DO NOT work here. They will NOT give you independence. They will NOT allow you to work on anything on your own without someone looking over your shoulder. Respect yourself and work somewhere that actually appreciates you.

Pros

Match had some of the coolest and brightest people in the industry when I started. There were lots of cool perks and quality of life was as high of a priority as making sure your work was done well.

Cons

Shortly after I hired on, IAC infused it's management team and the rewards and fun began to be sucked out of the place, bit by bit. By the end of my 8 year career, Match had become a political nightmare. I had done the best work of my career for this company and spent long hours on huge projects, 24 hour plus migrations, etc. In the end, I was terminated by a hot head that the company had hired through a site acquisition (M&A).
