Pros

Awesome benefits such as health, dental, 28 days holiday Buzzing work environment. Friendly ish people Variety of skills easily developed as there's always so much to do in different areas Very collaborative nature work life balance is encouraged

Cons

9-6 or later with little recognition when working late intense workload clique environment which may sometimes lead to isolation/bullying little communication/direction from senior management although this is improving a lot of gossip and politics

Pros

There are some good people

Cons

Years ago, Videology had high standards and employed some top-notch people. Talent and hard work was rewarded and it was generally a great environment. Over the years the smart people gradually became outnumbered as clueless, overpaid, self-congratulating morons were inserted into the upper ranks. An exasperating chasm grew between the people at the top and the people who actually understood how things work, and between the tech leaders in the US and the guys on the ground in EMEA. Despite repeating the tired mantra that "people are out most important resource", management repeatedly proved that they saw the employees as more of an inconvenience than an asset.

Pros

The teammates were generally good to work with Decent work-life balance One of the better known software product companies in Baltimore Great if you're a univ of Virginia alumni

Cons

After a layoff round earlier this year that saw the company headcount drop by 10% (the CEO and co claimed it to be a restructure to be more product/engineering focused but it was clearly to reduce costs to show profit for future IPO/sale purposes), the Glassdoor rating is now higher than ever- how ? It seems there were 5 (!!!) * 5 star rating reviews on October 3rd with very generic terms in it whereas you usually see a review every 10-30 days. The leadership seems to have "missed the bus". Should have sold/IPO'ed while they still could- the DSP market is getting cannibalized/commoditized and the barrier to entry is non-existent Inter-department politics is very high. People are eager to pass the responsibility The CEO mostly has the same old crew from his old company. Old boys' club.
