Outbrain Reviews

Pros
I have been working at Outbrain for almost 8 years and in this time have grown and learned so much! Some of the pros of Outbrain are: the amazing people, the togetherness of the teams, the people-centric strategies, approachable leadership, the culture, the importance put on work-life balance. There have been many posts here mentioning the taking away of benefits this year, but they fail to mention the extra 3 vacation days we were given, the Winter break (where the whole company shuts down over the holidays) and work from anywhere policy, which were great additions.
Cons
As we have grown, decision making has become slower. There are however concerted efforts, as leadership is aware of this, to improve this and empower decision making, so hoping this will improve. We IPO'd in 2021 and being a public company is not for all.
