Pros

Was once upon a time a great place to work. Interesting product. Intelligent and fun colleagues. Generally a lax, autonomous work environment. Competitive pay, benefits, perks. Beautiful offices. If you work hard and stay visible you can promote yourself within the company. Tech has potential but increasingly became difficult to differentiate in the competitive landscape.

Cons

Experience can vary by department, but Groundtruth was one of the most toxic and immature companies I've ever worked for. You better share the delusional views and opinions of leadership/management or else you'll repeatedly find yourself attacked, bullied, and/or let go. Often witnessed talented employees capable of making positive change repeatedly shut down or silenced. Managers lead with fear. Generally felt like there was a witch hunt happening at all times, led by witches. Many of the more respected leaders and managers have quit, or have been fired. This company is lost and is being run by extremely inadequate and ego driven leadership. Low confidence that the company will ever be able to turn things around. I didn't fully realize how toxic this company was until I left.

DTR (Don't Trust Reviews, that have 5 stars)

Pros

Office is in One World Trade and has a lovely view.

Cons

DTR is the company's motto. It stands for Disruptive, Transparent, and Relentless, but unfortunately none of those things are true. What is true is xAd has seriously taken a turn for the worse in the past year. The reviews were reflecting the reality but upper management has strongly encouraged people to write 5 star reviews. The company is struggling financially and the executive staff is not transparent about it. Bonuses were cut drastically this quarter but no information was relayed down to the employees. Instead, the illusion that somehow we compete among Facebook and Google keeps being sold. Quotas are outrageously high and almost impossible to hit. Employee morale is at an all time low. In the 1 year I've been with xAd, I have seen a whole lot of talk come out of the executives and 0 execution. They want everyone to drink the Kool-aid but they never tell you it's poisoned. Wish I didn't have to start applying to jobs so soon after joining one but that is what myself and many others are being forced to do.
