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

Smart people and hard problems everywhere, with every opportunity to create the job you want. Strong engineering culture: focused on ongoing learning, experimentation, distributed systems acumen, CI/CD/automation oriented, and lots of opportunity to play with truly big data (as in, petabytes!). Work from home whenever you want, work the hours you want, work with great people, and work on interesting problems.

Cons

Get even better at culling the bottom performers. They're having a hard time keeping up with the change and that has the effect of holding the broader team back and frustrating their coworkers. Figure out a way to reinforce the pockets of entrepreneurial culture that are leading the pack in productivity.
