Go elsewhere - BDM MGID Employee Review

Good company to work for, friendly management team

Product is not competitive in the market

Large company. Global presence. Nice coworkers.

Review is based on U.S. operations (global operations may differ): Benefits and Paid Time Off: MGID’s benefits package is not competitive with other U.S.-based tech companies. The organization currently offers only two weeks of paid vacation annually, whereas most comparable companies in the U.S. provide flexible or unlimited PTO policies. Home Office Support: MGID does not offer reimbursement for home office expenses such as Wi-Fi, office supplies, or peripheral equipment beyond the standard company-issued laptop. These types of stipends are typically standard across the U.S. tech industry. Understanding of the U.S. Market: The company’s limited understanding of the U.S. digital media landscape has hindered its ability to establish partnerships with reputable U.S. publishers. As a result, the current client portfolio includes a disproportionate number of lower-tier publications. Language and Communication Challenges: The majority of staff members are non-native English speakers, which brings very valuable cultural diversity but can create communication challenges. Many team members rely on Google Meet’s live closed captioning feature to follow discussions effectively during meetings. Training and Marketing Materials: Internal documentation, training content, and marketing materials frequently contain broken English, which can detract from professionalism and clarity. Technical Support and Response Times: Since the support and technical teams are primarily based in Ukraine, issue resolution can sometimes be delayed due to time zone differences. Ad Quality and Creative Standards: The overall ad quality is poor, with a significant portion of creatives featuring clickbait-style content, typographical errors, or low-quality imagery. Improving creative standards would have a strong impact on brand perception and client retention.
