Pros

I learned a lot in my first year here.

Cons

after the round of layoffs i was approached by my manager and offered a financial incentive to post a positive review to glassdoor. i refuse to do so. any company that offers money in exchange for positive attention following botched mass-firings is not a company that i want to work for.

While we respect your right to voice your opinion about MediaMath’s leadership and strategy, we find it troubling that you would imply a manager would offer financial incentives to alter Glassdoor reviews. We value this channel as a forum for honest dialogue between current and prospective employees. Not only is this a false accusation, but pollutes and discredits other helpful reviews. MediaMath has a longstanding reputation for transparency and openness, both in how we do business and our internal culture. We need the authentic and unvarnished opinions to help become better managers, and welcome continued constructive feedback.

Pros

Some brilliant people, great work-life balance, countless interesting problems to solve. The company is well positioned to win big in the space.

Cons

Upper management is unable or unwilling to make the necessary investment to seize the market opportunity available to MediaMath. A generous series C was squandered on an army of sales and account people, plus a thoroughly useless "product planning" team. Now they've had to turn around and lay off all those people, only to discover that the technology has fallen far behind the offerings of our nimbler and better-financed peers. The CEO is a fool. The presidents, Mike and Ari, are brilliant but completely out of touch with reality. The company's new restructuring won't save it: for the most part it's more of the same poor judgement. Two of the three business units are now headed by sales types with no understanding of - or interest in - the technology they're meant to be selling. Executive leadership claims to be investing in the product again, but the proof's in the pudding and there isn't any pudding yet.

Pros

Great people overall and the best work from home/PTO policy you could ask for.

Cons

I joined this company because of the tangible culture you could feel when you walked into the office. That is long gone. What's left at the "new" Four World Trade Center office is an array of open and empty desks and a dismal looking set off staff. The recent layoffs have left an unrecognizable MediaMath behind. HR has been an easy target to blame, when they themselves have been left in the dark with no leadership while operating lean for months. It's unfortunate when lower level employees have excellent performance and could really make a difference in the organization but are overlooked and stumped by the wads of money spent on the front of house teams budgets and spending. Most lower level employees are underpaid and could make loads more at any other job. Only thing keeping me here is the unlimited paid time off, but wouldn't be surprised if that went away next...considering every perk that make it bearable to stay here has been slowly taken away or lessened greatly.
