Pros

iSpot is definitely the leader in the TV Attribution space, which made it fun to work there. It is much easier to sell a product that you know is the best in class, than some of the smoke and mirrors products that live in the ad tech space. The C-Suite is forward-thinking, and they are also good people at heart, who you can have a coffee/beer with outside of the office. Sean, the CEO, was always willing to jump in on deals/projects, often pulling in the right resources from Product and Analytics to get the job done. I appreciated the ability to leverage the C-Suite and other key team members, when trying to put deals together.

Cons

Like any start-up that’s growing, iSpot can work on making that growth as smooth as possible.

Pros

iSpot is on the cutting edge of TV Measurement and Attribution. They were first market being able to connect real time linear TV airings to actual business outcomes. They are now moving on towards currency, and being a player in the negotiations between networks and advertisers. This is super exciting stuff. Everyone at iSpot is super helpful and smart, especially being in a satellite office, away from the Bellevue HQ, seeking out people to answer your questions is key, the answers are not just going to come to you; and everyone from the CEO down is willing to help

Cons

Being in a satellite office or being remote is a lot harder than being in HQ. It's imperative that all satellite employees take time to get in front of Senior Management to get to know them. Often times product enhancements are generally known about in the halls of HQ, but unless satellite employees go out and seek those people, it's hard to get an understanding about what's coming down the pike.

Pros

Positive and encouraging work culture. For example, I spent at least a few weeks huddled down on a complicated project, and when I finally got it working I was very happy to be congratulated by most of the people on my team and some people on other teams as well. Sometimes programming problems can feel isolating if you're the only one working on a given problem, so it was nice to see that other people were paying attention and cared. The iSpot product is big and fairly complex, so there's always more to learn about and more to do, which is a good thing. Everyone I asked questions of was more than willing to take time to help out. Your coworkers want to see you succeed. My boss wanted to see me succeed. That means a lot. The people I worked with outside of engineering were friendly and capable and doing good work as well. Honestly, I never had a negative experience with anyone at the company. Benefits and amenities are great: 25% 401k matching, which didn't seem like a lot at first, but it's not capped, so they'll contribute up to $4k or so. Optional HSA which they'll contribute to, Dependent Care FSA, solid health insurance, unlimited PTO. Company Udemy pass, and an hour every week to spend learning whatever you want. I used the Udemy pass all the time to learn more about what I was working on. I was able to work from home when I needed to around doctor's appointments etc, though it isn't encouraged. Shower and locker room / bike storage. Good snacks and coffee.

Cons

iSpot is a relatively young company that's grown tremendously and I think is still finding its way. There's plenty to improve on, but I think the desire to improve is there. From my perspective (starting out in an entry level position) there wasn't a whole lot of hand holding. So I think you need to be pretty self directed, flexible, and comfortable with ambiguity. I got support when I really needed it, but to a large degree I was left to figure things out on my own, which was a good learning experience for me. If you're not comfortable with that, I could see it being hard.
