Pros

I reported directly to ethical, realistic but not complacent managers. Colleagues were very respectful but not disingenuous. The team was incredibly reliable but set meaningful boundaries The work was very creative and interesting and not just solving the same problems of every large publisher.

Cons

Director level management was unfortunately less fastidious about decision making and messaging. Many of the large initiatives failed, not on merit, but mismanagement at the director and VP level. Compensation was not unfair, but below market for technology-heavy positions.

Pros

Fully remote with all necessary tech provided, weekday schedule, great benefits, good leadership, small close-knit teams, generous PTO in addition to paid holidays

Cons

Base salary could be better but is offset with benefits package. Employee retention is high (a huge plus IMO) butcould limit upward mobility if you're looking for it.
