Pros

- People were great. Very smart and helpful. - Remote workplace. Although this seemed to be changing depending on your department - Benefits were pretty good.

Cons

- Pay was not super great. - Expected to "wear many hats," AKA perform multiple roles for one salary. - No upward mobility. - A private equity fund bought this company, and I saw changes happen within the company that had adverse effects. AdCellerant would always boast a "people-first" mentality, but it laid off a good chunk of its workforce in March 2025. I know layoffs are a part of business life; it's funny when these startups attribute their success to their people and lay off workers in the same sentence.

Pros

Strong team members who are collaborative and willing to step in when workloads get heavy Senior leadership brings deep industry experience and there is meaningful opportunity to learn from them Leadership is very open to feedback Career paths and role definitions are clearer than they were in the past and continue to improve

Cons

Rapid growth can sometimes create pressure, and a more measured pace may help teams plan and execute more efficiently Shifting priorities occasionally lead to additional internal work as teams adjust Workload can be busy during peak periods, though support from teammates helps manage it Continued focus on employee experience would further strengthen an already strong customer first culture

Pros

This place is kind of a joke if you look hard enough. A few execs make good money while telling everyone else they care about local media. It's clear they don't or they wouldn't overcharge them for media that does nothing for their business. They sold out a few years ago and clearly just want to do enough to collect their bonus and leave now. Good for them I guess but they're all so self important. It's not a good look. On the plus side, its easy work, all the campaigns are the same, ha

Cons

Felt bad about myself after a while of overcharging people for custom work that really isn't custom.
