Pros

Nice office, free snacks, matching 401k

Cons

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.I dreaded coming to work here everyday.The most toxic work environment I've ever been in. Most of the positive reviews here have come from the "Marketing Engineers"(MediaMath's glorified intern program) who are entry level folk that come into Mediamath via a special program so they are coddled more than the rest of the org, I don't feel like their reviews are a fair representation of the company for a role where you actually have to accomplish things. The executive that runs the department I worked in is completely inexperienced, and it shows. They are a basically a show pony for MediaMath. Bad leadership aside, this place has the most sketchiest people I've ever met. People are constantly trying to "one up" you behind your back, it's like high school. The product itself is LIGHTYEARS behind anything in the market really, MediaMath is a dinosaur with no real vision-- nothing that is a real big differentiator as most functionality relies on partnerships, which they try and spin into a positive. Love politics? Then this is the place for you, it's DROWNING in it. Decent, smart people who deserved to get promotions never did, and the brownnosers seem to keep moving up the food chain with made up VP titles. It's a joke.

Good work life balance and PTO. Really not much else, most are jaded - check out the review trend.

Everything else. When the head is stupid the body will suffer.

Pros

Free Snacks, Great Views, Unlimited PTO. There are some competent people in the sea of ego, and it's well-known and respected in the convoluted Ad Tech industry.

Cons

In the last 2 years, we have lost our Chief Marketing Officer, Chief People Officer, General Counsel and two (yes two) Chief Financial Officers!!! What does that say about company confidence? Oh, and then there was the massive layoff. I think they kept it at 9.99% to say that it was under 10%, but it was essentially a reduction of 10% of the workforce. Lots of ego here (it helps to be white, male, obnoxious and loud!) They hand out VP titles like candy to the squeakiest wheel, even if they don't know what they're talking about, a very "bro" culture. Don't bother giving any sort of constructive criticism or even asking basic logistics questions, you'll be shut down and yelled out of a meeting. Remember, this is an ADVERTISING company, so they make everything look and sound glamorous. For example, before the layoff they said our "retention rate" was 90%+. Of course if you look at the definition of "retention," the calculation is the number of positions which continue to be filled. So, if someone quits or is fired and then replaced, it would have no effect on retention. This is the "openness" of the management to the employees.
