Mediaocean reviews

Salary - bad benefits, crappy management that will lie to your face and act like they are doing you a favor. CEO walks around acting like he's superstar. Wants to be loved by all. Will ask you questions and has an open door policy but never listen to the answers. He just starts talking about himself. Man, he loves to talk about himself. He hires his pals for all of the open C- level positions. The people he keeps closest are the ones who yes him to death and make him feel special. One of the "leaders" he brought in a few years ago constantly says "when I knew Bill at Yahoo" so often that we're all like "yes yes we know... thanks for telling us, again". There is no growth here. Very few people actually move up. Sometimes the wrong ones do, but that happens everywhere. For new people leaving reviews saying there's growth opportunities, that's because there has been massive layoff, many rounds. So there is room when that happens but otherwise many people have been in the exact same roles for years. 5,10,15 etc without a promotion. Mediaocean was 2 competitors that merged with 2 very different cultures. Much has been replaced or more like, the culture really met in the middle. But there are people from both sides that hate the other and REFUSE to change the way they do anything. They re-org their internal structure so often, about 3 or 4 times times a year. Re-assigning teams and roles. They have a few team leaders who everyone HATES, the clients, and the MO personnel working for them. But for some reason keep those lazy, no good, do nothing, pass everything off, client ignoring account directors or SADs in place. They also blame EVERYTHING on Vista (the equity company that purchased them). You want to work from home? No you can't, Vista - a few months later, it was stated it really just depends on your manager. Vista is always their first response for motivation. Then after a change doesn't go over well the story changes.
