Pros

Beautiful office space (in Toronto) Fun perks like cute swag and take-home items from constant events Competitive salaries Leadership at top is female (in Canada) Diverse teams

Cons

My time here was not the best. I worked in a non-endemic vertical so unfortunately, it was a tougher sell and often times, we were an afterthought on client media plans with very little budget. I thought working for a reputable and globally known platform would mean that it would be an easy sell, but this was the opposite experience for me. As mentioned, my vertical was a tougher and more challenging sell where it was really hard to measure performance and KPIs, making it tough to retain business/win more budget. and there was a crushing amount of pressure to deliver results. A lot of the people I worked with were ex-Meta, ex-Google, ex-Amazon etc. which, in my experience, lead to working with some very intense and type-A personalities. While nice and seemingly friendly, I found the working environment to be very clique-y and lacking in sincerity. This is coming from the type of person who can get a long with almost anyone. Some of the men on my team were out of touch and misogynists' at times, which I found hard to bare.

Pros

WLB Remote work (which is slowly ending). Strong ICs

Cons

Poor leadership vision, strategy, and execution. Rebranding products that already exist as net new to chase a headline. Unclear career growth unless you are internally connected to “the right people”. Middle management that is there to boost their career / repackage IC ideas as their own with zero credit. RTO rollout was botched leading to senior sellers leaving. Lots of toxic positivity and virtue signaling
