Pros

- The views are nice - Coworkers are friendly - You'll get meaningless job title promotions quickly, so I guess it's an okay place to use to pad your resume (if you can tolerate it long enough)

Cons

- It took a few years due to the PTSD to even write this review - The CEO likes to brag about how much money the company (he) made by having it constantly displayed on the TVs in the office, but specifically asks employees to change those screens whenever a guest comes in to talk with anyone (shady) - The CEO is comically horrible, like every attribute that makes a bad leader is expressed in him from loud outbursts to public belittlement - The management (at the time) always had a defeated look on their faces because they were kissing up to the CEO constantly - Possibly the worst career experience in my life - You will get treated like a replaceable part in a machine, and rewarded like a puppy - The CEO is horrible at expressing his vision and takes it out on his employees whenever a product is delivered that doesn't match - The CEO makes you pump up their products on your own social media channels, and I sincerely believe he is making the employees write positive reviews about MarketScale on Glassdoor. - Severe micromanagement throughout the office - You have to pay for your own parking - A good day is when you don't get yelled at

Pros

MarketScale gives you real ownership and smart teammates. The pace is fast, expectations are clear, and when things bottleneck it’s usually cross-team communication, resolution. I’ve grown my career, skills, and knowledge here.

Cons

The entrepreneurial, high-ownership pace isn’t for everyone, but for me, it’s a big plus.

Pros

Great work-life balance. Great opportunity to make a difference coaching Fortune 100 clients in high stakeholder conversations and relationships.

Cons

There is constant change and it really is a fast environment. Every week there was a new initiative new training that seemed to contradict the previous week. It is moving as fast as the AI industry is moving. Client services were moved in-house although it is clear that this was a cut for costs as they had a big emphasis on cutting costs this last year in editing and software. The tech also was becoming more and more glitchy and not as well tested as it should before launching to clients with a lot of issues on calls. This really the most frustrating part of the experience. I believe the clients overall benefit from the platforms and the clients deserve a strong client services team for what they are paying for.
