Maturing startup with some growing pains

Pros

Great benefits - unlimited snacks, food, drinks, catered lunches, great events. Insurance premiums fully paid, rich health plan. Opportunities to learn about cutting edge products and innovations.

Cons

This company has experienced some growing pains and transitions. The digital media industry is cutting edge and competitive and management can be slow to respond. It is a large maturing company but in some ways retains start up chaos and disorganization.

Pros

-The company is definitely moving in the right direction in gaining their own traction in the Mobile and Video ad space, as well as Programmatic offerings. -The culture is great and very family oriented and always have employee lunches -Very casual work environment (listen to music all day, walk around the open office and speak to anyone anytime, free snack galore, 2 big screen TV's in both kitchens to take a much needed break any time)

Cons

When you occupy certain positions (ie Camapign Manager) you will not have any time for family or friends. Because the internet is 24/7 and this is an internet advertising network, you HAVE to work ALL the time. Whether it's a weekend, holiday (Christmas Thanksgiving, Easter, etc.) you always need to have your computer with you to manage your campaigns. If you are a younger contributor without a family and are able to get a decent salary negotiated, it's a great place. Just be prepared to work constantly if you go there as a Campaign Manager. All other positions have a great work/life balance.

Pros

I actually like working here. The people are amazing and the company itself has many perks and benefits. Great place to learn about the digital advertising realm.

Cons

I feel very underutilized. You learn what you need for the position and that is it. There isn't the chance to learn something new unless you move to a different position. Upper management will not teach you anything new that they do because they obviously dont trust you enough. Also, the seniority card is played way too much.
