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

Best Company for a Reason!

Pros

MediaMath is comprised of intelligent, solution-driven, friendly and hard-working people which fosters a creative, positive and fun working environment. I have worked in both large and small companies and MediaMath has proven to be the best thus far. There is a reason why it is voted one of the best places to work! Beautiful offices, smart/friendly people, a stimulating/challenging work environment and unlimited food/snacks/drinks? Sign me up!

Cons

The exponential growth of MediaMath means that process/people/things often change to keep up with the company's fast growth. I prefer to call this change "progress", but understand how change can be viewed in a negative light from people who don't like change.

A Sinking Ship

Pros

Beautiful offices in great locations. Overall, the employees are great people. Hard-working, dedicated, friendly, creative, the list goes on. Perks are on par with other tech companies.

Cons

MM is underway with yet another reorganization, however this one came with a heavy round of layoffs. The layoffs are being painted as giving the people who are now jobless an opportunity to connect with partners and clients, but at the end of the day, many, many talented, dedicated, and loyal staff members are simply out of a job. Seemingly little thought was given to who would be let go and why; valuable, core members of teams were let go simply because they were a redundant number on a spreadsheet. The leadership has fallen far from the days of caring about the people who have made this company a success and now only care about making themselves and the board wealthier. There's no heart and soul left at this company. It's all about the appearance of success and the bottom line.
