Pros

I like it a lot so far. We are constantly pushing the edge with new tech but keeping our roots in existing tech. I am constantly challenged, encouraged and continue to learn. The pay is good. The people are great. The company seems to have good people leading the charge and I am confident of its future.

Cons

Team direction can be conflicting at times

Pros

MediaMath has a fantastic product, and great talent that supports it around the clock. It is developing constantly, and growing and improving. Because of the talent, the culture is great: everybody works very hard, but has a lot of fun, and people befriend each other and hang out outside of the office. There are common pros of a tech company like laid back culture, relaxed work hours, working remotely is allowed, snacks, drinks, occasional free lunch, weekly bagels, parties are on a pretty grand scale, phone reimbursements + device upgrade credit every two years. Excellent training department, I learned a lot about the industry and enjoyed many opportunities to shadow members of other departments.

Cons

As has been reflected in multiple reviews here and on employee surveys internally, the compensation rate is below market value and a source of dissatisfaction of many, and it's an issue that the company successfully skates over every time these surveys are conducted. --- Raises are very insignificant, more like slight bumps. The company is slow to acknowledge the need for higher headcount in teams, while raising the volume of work, while pay is low. So when all of that is taken into consideration, and after all total hours worked are calculated, pay could be equivalent to minimum wage (BEFORE the recent Cuomo fast food worker wage raise). Standards for new employees are too high for the compensation package, so the hiring process is too long for open positions. Medical insurance is fine, there are better and worse possibilities in companies. There is a non-compete agreement that potentially prevents one to move to a different company within the industry.

Thank you for your review, and especially for highlighting a few of the positive aspects of our fun and hard working culture that you have enjoyed. That said, I disagree with your evaluation of our compensation. We’ve done extensive research, engaging the market leading compensation consultants and databases in the technology sector, and found that our cash compensation is ahead of the market as an average—not sure where you are comparing us to, but we also offer more robust equity participation than the majority technology companies, which, if included in compensation, puts us near the head of the pack. Finally, we’ve implemented a data-driven performance management system which will strengthen our meritocracy across the company – providing outsize rewards for those drive outsize positive business outcomes. If you feel that you are not adequately compensated for your work or that your team is understaffed, you should feel free to bring it to the attention of your supervisor. Or, if you are uncomfortable doing that, you can email me or one of the HR Business Partners directly to help us find the best way to reward your contributions. We take this concern very seriously and would like to find a way to remedy it. –Peter
