Pluspunten

Once upon a time it was a good place to work with smart and supportive people.

Minpunten

They love to win their "Best Place to Work" awards to hide what's really going on there. They have done three rounds of layoffs in the last year, laying off women on maternity leave, pregnant women, and people that have been there for 10+ years with no notice or explanation. They tout "family values" but have no issue cutting ties with even the best employees in the blink of an eye. They were nowhere near goal last year but put on the front that they're the best in the business. The automation software failed to take off and they're scrambling to find ways to keep afloat. The CEO is completely checked out, too busy ranting on Facebook and Twitter about politics. The executives are all homegrown with no outside experience, leaving them incredibly limited in their skills and strategy. They reorg over and over again to no avail. The lack of revenue speaks for itself.

Pluspunten

There’s an excellent work life balance. We receive perks such as reimbursement for fitness, education, and other expenses. Employees also have a 3 week paid sabbatical once every 4 years of employment.

Minpunten

Not all departments or groups receive the same recognition. Ad Operations often feels forgotten in the totem pole.

Great friendly company culture. People doing their best to take care of each other.

Unless it is not longer safe. Right now the company is still figuring out their product route.
