Pros

Quarterly bonus opportunities are attractive.

Cons

I have never worked in a more unprofessional environment. Management not only lacks knowledge and expertise needed to run a company, but they do not care about the well being of their employees. Employees are put down on a daily basis, and rarely given the tools needed to succeed in regard to training or expectations. The environment is extremely negative and volatile - employees fight, bicker and treat each other poorly on a daily basis and management only adds to the immature behavior. There is never accountability for poor work, or reward for quality work.

Old Sinking Ship

Pros

- Excellent work life balance - Fast paced - Solid opportunity to gain exposure to AdTech industry

Cons

- Very low salary, way below market rate - Raises will be cost of living, don't expect actual promotion raises even if you get new title - Highly disorganized/dysfunctional corporate culture which stems from C-Level downwards - Generally inadequate middle management without experience or ability to manage teams and individuals - Poor investments into companies that have no panned out Summary: Mediaocean is a sinking ship. They sold themselves to Vista in order to get cash to acquire some companies with products that they hoped would become "stars" for them. Instead those acquired companies have basically failed and haven't generated any revenue so to speak. The company survives through the continued dependence on their very old cash cow software which is ripe for disruption. Do not take a job at Mediaocean unless you have no other options what-so-ever. This is a sinking ship. You will be overworked, underpaid and watch as this company gets acquired again.

Pros

industry leading company; Adopts current technology; Stays abreast with the latest trends in the media industry

Cons

Upper management decisions are controlled by the venture capitalist firm (Vista); job performance is secondary to profit; jobs increasingly awarded overseas and to H1-B visa holders (not their fault of course)
