Pros

- Long stretches of time where Management was communicative and would seem to strive to create a healthy and productive work environment - The product portfolio and work is actually very interesting. You wonder where the days go at times when you are thoroughly engrossed on a project - Depending on the Team you are working for you may luck out and have great managers and a true sense of teamwork with your co-workers (like you are all in it together)

Cons

- Short and disturbing stretches where Management will communicate one objective but then execute another. This leaves employees wondering whether they have a solid future with this company. Also layoffs don't set a good tone when you are clearly profitable. It's certainly not the employees' fault that management can't make their targets - While the product portfolio is interesting it is extremely bug ridden (as the Client's are more than well aware of). This is a company that constantly over promises and under-delivers both in terms of product functionality, quality and speed (rush to release) - Depending on the Team you are working for, you may NOT luck out and have horrible managers who are tone deaf (and nasty). Or you may belong to a Team where everyone is simply watching their back and pointing fingers when a problem arises

Pros

Bill Wise, Mediaocean CEO is an amazing guy. He is a great leader and has incredible passion.

Cons

I worked for MBuy which was the Demand Side Platform division of Mediaocean. Some of the Executive Leadership in MBuy was absolutely awful and management did not stand behind or support their employees properly. The MBuy technology was also bottom of the barrel in the DSP space and they eventually closed it down and now ride the coat-tails of other 3rd party buy side tech. Probably a smart move in hindsight, but many employees were negatively impacted throughout the process and fooled we were going to be closer to Mediaocean as a whole. Be real careful if you are considering MBuy within the walls of Mediaocean.

Pros

Free breakfast, great events, good work life balance, decent products, ez commute, flex time and time off policies, cool and caring co-workers.

Cons

It is a ok, middle of the road company, not bad but definitely not great. There are some bad managers, old products and the work can be tedious and unappreciated. Very little WFH which sucks. Management does care about the company, but not really the people, we are along for the ride. They are trying very hard to change the reputation of the company. Some marketing people were brought in to change the image of the company and CEO. It is common knowledge around MO they have been writting fake GD reviews, as there were so many bad reviews from before.
