Pros

Cool start up environment - beer fridge, casual dress code. CEO knows everyone by name since it's so small. Digital advertising is a hip industry to get into.

Cons

No logic to job titles. No real salary bands - what you got paid sometimes was based on who hired you. Because they're trying to generate buzz, it felt like I was expected to broadcast every company announcement over social media no matter how small. Management changed directives on a whim. Whether the company wanted to admit it or not, they operated in startup mode, which meant the job was your life. NO real performance review system - I never knew how I was performing or how to get to the next level. Unprofessional behavior at all levels. Might be okay for someone just starting out, but no real long-term career future here.

Pros

The people who you work with are very passionate and good at what they do. For the most part, there is a very collaborative nature and people tend to work well with each other and are open to new ideas.

Cons

Leadership, specifically senior and executive leadership, isn't less than desirable. SpotX leadership has yet to figure out how to scale to the current company size. with no management training, little emphasis on coaching and mentorship and a large emphasis on working in constant chaos . It is often that people feel disrespected and put down by their leaders, especially those in more senior roles. This has a profound effect on morale and shows that not only will that type of behavior will be tolerated with no consequences but that it is ok. SpotX could be a phenomenal company at scale, but unfortunately, it is clear they do not have any plans to change the culture.
