Pros

Some great people, unlimited vacation time, flexible work from home policy

Cons

MediaMath used to be a great environment to work with lot's of friendly faces and interesting things to work on. Sadly since last year's layoffs things haven't been the same and probably never will be. MediaMath's executive team is a complete disaster, more than half of the team has no idea how to run their organizations. Unfortunately because so many of these members have inflated egos they're unable to take a step back and realize they are no longer the best fit for their role. The client success organization is filled with an overwhelming sense of entitlement and importance they simply do not deserve. Sales and account managers are a dime a dozen and it doesn't take a rocket scientist. They also spend more money on frivolous client dinners, happy hours and ridiculous amounts of travel that don't amount to more revenue. For most new people coming in there is almost no training or on-boarding because people are leaving by the masses. There are also no raises or promotions for employees who have worked hard and deserve it, only for those who are willing to suck up to whoever will listen and spend hours stroking managements egos telling them how wonderful and smart they are. If you're an employee at MediaMath and have been at the company for 2 years or more you can forget it you're probably not going to get that raise and promotion you were promised. You'll be better off going somewhere that will actually pay you what you're worth. The HR department (or what's left of them) is pretty incompetent for the most part and don't actually have any power to change or do anything because no one seems to trust them. They did hire a new CPO finally so hopefully she'll be able to make some changes but that's doubtful considering there's never been strong leadership in that department. Overall it's really sad what happened to a once fun and happy place to work but management only has themselves to blame.

Thank you for sharing your feedback here, and thank you especially for recognizing that brilliant people and solid technology are our highest priority. I’m sincerely sorry that you lacked direction on your team and experienced a “toxic” environment – that is not representative of the company as a whole, and we have made some changes to the sales organization that will make incentives and team focus more tightly aligned with our strategic priorities. In 2017, you are going to see more investment in the ambitious plans that are most important to us, better alignment globally on priorities, more training for managers, and more empowerment to local leaders to make the decisions that make the most sense in their markets. You are already seeing the investment that we made last year in improved peer-review and career pathing processes, which are making this a better place for ambitious people to continue to grow in their careers. Things change quickly here as we maintain the rapid pace of innovation in our world, but for those ready to adapt to each new phase, there is a huge opportunity to grow as we continue to scale our technology, team, and impact in our industry. –Mike
