      Lay Offs: MediaMath is downplaying it

      Pros

      Great friends and smart people that I will miss working with. There are a great number of talent people working for this company but I'm afraid their time is running short. Great for those that enjoy the thrill of being aboard a sinking ship!

      Cons

      MediaMath had a great number of layoffs and as much as they are trying to spin it in a positive light with their Alpha program (program of "resources" to help those that were let go), the program is quite useless to the displaced workers. It's just an empty shell for PR. They could have helped these employees by giving them a lot more notice so they can start the search for a new job sooner. This Alpha team was conceived at least two months ago (February 2016) and all they came up with was a program that didn't really do anything. Now that's MediaMath efficiency. There were signs of doom when management was trying to sell stock to its own employees on two separate occasions. Clearly, an IPO is not hopeful to management and they're trying to milk money from employees when they know that it's not worth the price. It's a disgraceful management team leading this company that will stop at nothing to get rich at the expense of their employees. Word has it that there will be more lay offs coming. If you're looking to get a job at MediaMath, you should know that they have had hiring freezes and budget cuts since before the start of the year. MediaMath is not growing but in fact shrinking. My inside sources say there will be a lot more lay offs to come and that the fun, startup culture is just not there anymore.

      There are some true things here, as well as some assertions that are not fair to your former colleagues here at MediaMath. Yes, MediaMath restructured into regionally-led sales teams and more agile product business units. Yes, that involved ending our relationships with some employees (somewhere in the lower to mid-single digits of our team). That transition made some roles unnecessary, which while painful was part of the point — it was getting too hard to get things done, and product and business decisions were not being made as easily as they should. It is NOT fair to say that leaders are “profiting” from employees by offering them stock purchase plans. We are committed at MediaMath is to giving everyone a stake in our success, and the goal with employee stock purchase is to allow employees to scale up that stake on favorable terms. Alpha, too, is a serious effort to activate folks beyond our walls in pursuit of our mission — I don’t think anyone who has participated in the program this week has found it insincere or useless. I am confident that we have done what it takes to see substantial and healthy growth in 2016. –Mike

      Pros

      Liked my colleagues. Good people overall.

      Cons

      Major lay offs yesterday at MediaMath was there less than a year and was directionless the whole time with no clear vision. Very high expectations with zero support.

      Thank you for giving credit where credit is due at MediaMath. The people on this team are unparalleled in their creativity, diligence and willingness to collaborate. What you are referring to was certainly not “massive layoffs” — we reorganized our teams into business units this week, transitioning people into teams with more focused missions. Most people now have more tightly focused missions and new resources at their disposable — a small minority have moved on with the opportunity to take advantage of the resources provided by our incubator. –Mike

      Game of Thrones (but not in a good way)

      Pros

      Legitimately good product, deep expertise in the industry, smart sales (which is a rarity in ad tech)

      Cons

      MediaMath used to be a beacon of hope in the ad tech world, now literally nobody talks about them (outside of the walls of MediaMath that is)... mostly due to the wrong people being elevated to positions where they can’t do anything except rub elbows with the right people. Naked emperors everywhere at the VP level. A ton of trash talking because insecure people know they can’t do the job and force competent people out. Luckily, most of the people forced out in this way have found MUCH better jobs at much better companies. Unfortunately, this has led to the imminent demise of a once great company.
