Pros

The entry level employees are very smart and motivated, the atmosphere is very relaxed (maybe too much), free dry cleaning, free lunch snacks etc......

Cons

Management can't get out of its own way. If you are used to being able to make any decisions or being treated like an adult this is not the place for you! There are often conflicting opinions and you are stuck in the middle. Things change quickly and without warning. May even be "spoken to" for not showing enough enthusiasm or sitting at the lunch tables designed for 3rd graders. The good news; if you like spending a lot of your time playing ping pong you will love it here.

Pros

Excellent work-life balance with a fun atmosphere. Nice employees who contribute to a sense of camaraderie. Exciting industry with great potential for growth.

Cons

There is a sever lack of structure, while helping with the laid-back atmosphere, actually deters operational efficiency and decision making processes.

Pros

1. Management takes care of you very well -- bonuses, vacation flexibility, place to play (ping pong, xbox, drinks) at work, breakfast and lunch feasts, commuting reimbursement if you live in Boston. 2. Lots of ambition shown CEO and CTO 3. Lots to opportunities to improve skills 4. Very lucrative industry as its nascent and talent war is massive! 5. Learn and work with cross functional departments ALL THE TIME

Cons

1. Out of 50 odd people right now, 1/3 are quite dumb 2. Don't feel like you're making the world a better place. The digital ad industry really focused on money rather than larger goals.
