Pros

Unfortunately, I have no pros to list out.

Cons

A company made up of 7 separate companies, internally, it still operates in silos and the technology is not linked. Externally, it appears to operate as one meaning the above is pure chaos. Teams fighting for budgets/relationships/commissions. Everyone working on different systems and there is little to no alignment. Additionally, management lack understanding of the EU programmatic demand market. They like to push their own agenda without fully understanding their clients needs. I would also like to say that your experience is very much based on the team or business department you end up in. Unfortunately for me, the business team I was in had no product development or business support yet the Verve gods wanted results. If you are interviewing for this company and are considering a role, I would seriously consider pulling out of the process.

Pros

Unlimited PTO, but don't expect that to be approved - many if ands/or buts.

Cons

Work-life balance is non-existent The workload here was totally unmanageable, meaning you're pretty much forced to work past 5 PM every day just to keep up. The "unlimited PTO" is a myth. A bunch of managers are reluctant to approve anything for a week or longer, and they still expect you to check in and reply to messages while you're supposed to be on vacation. Management throws you to the wolves Onboarding was pretty much a joke. They dump a massive amount of work on your plate before you even feel comfortable in the role. Managers aren't supportive either; they might help with easy stuff at first, but if a problem is actually challenging, they just pass the buck to someone else. Trying to escalate issues to skip-levels or senior leadership is completely pointless because they just ignore the problems anyway. It may even backfire, considering mid and senior leaders are tight-knit, and they often behave inappropriately towards their team. Heavy micromanagement There is a really intense RTO culture here, and the surveillance is real. You are expected to keep your camera on at all times during meetings. Don't expect a raise There's zero financial growth at this company. The starting pay was low, and management completely resists giving anyone a substantial raise, if they give you one at all.
