Improving all the time - werkgeversreview Account Executive bij The Trade Desk

People are really nice here, willing to help

The company has expanded so fast that there are some orgs problem

Good working environment and perks - good pay (bad now due to depressed stock)

The company's leadership and talent selection mechanism is pretty bad. The performance management system has literally two rating (meet / doesnt meet) - how do you identify who to promote and mentor with two ratings? there are no growth paths, objectives, etc to guide anyone career - seems like everyone works for one persons unstructured strategy. People get elevated and recruited using a haphazard mechanisms and these recruits specially at higher levels have no way of understanding talent or grooming one. Hence the company struggles to compete in a space where the worlds best organizations compete (Google, Amazon, Meta, etc.). They hire from top places but just getting a bunch of top players doesnt make a high performing team - you also need the team structure, growth paths and coaching that leads players to win. This company will keep loosing its A players - and soon may struggle to survive if things dont change.
