Great team culture, but pay and promotions are lacking

Programmatic campaign manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

You get to work with a lot of genuinely great and fun people, which makes the day-to-day experience much more enjoyable. There is also often strong support from upper management, especially when dealing with pressure from other departments.

Cons

Managing media campaigns often requires that you will be checking on your projects on most weekends. The pay does not seem to scale with the level of responsibility or impact of the work. As a programmatic trader, you will be managing millions of dollars in media spend, yet total compensation will remain well below $100K. Opportunities for promotion also seem inconsistent across teams, even for strong performers, and it does not appear that this compensation structure will change in the near term.

Great culture and transparency, but mixed management quality

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Great office culture. Because there is Monday breakfasts and Wednesday/Thursday lunches, people gather all the time. We also have DashPass for the other days. I also appreciate the transparency on how we're doing as a company. We had an all hands meeting and the founders shared our business results and put our initiatives into context. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. The benefits (free for me!) are really good.

Cons

Depends on who you are...we have a 4 d/w hybrid. I actually like coming in but know others would like less. There is no 401K match but we do get RSUs (stock). Their are great managers and not-so-great managers, like all companies (I like mine and like my team). Some managers are not great at setting goals and holding their people accountable to them. Super NOT important but there isn't much around the Irvine or LA offices for food options.

Great work-life balance Poor culture

Pros

Work life balance is great if you have the right manager

Cons

No accountability, director doesn’t listen to tenure employees, was brought in to “change” culture and profitability but it’s 100 times worse than before. No one does what they are told to do, every day it’s putting out fires with no change.
