Pros

New product in the industry Startup environment but great backing Awesome benefits (401k with match, pension for employers who started before April 2017, amazing health insurance) Mostly modern technology with willingness to stay modern Management listens to concerns and acts upon them (at all levels) Company actually wants to win in the space, wants to innovate, and wants to retain the best talent to do so Manager of Development wants people to actually sleep and be well-rested -- no burning out

Cons

Open office -- but hard to find a place that isn't Building is dated, parking lot is a parking deck with no elevators A lot of the new "fun" projects are given to offshore resources

I am always happy to see that our team is excited about the future of Videa and am very glad to see your comments on company culture – I really do want people to avoid burnout. On a similar note, I hear you on the point of prioritizing new work and which teams work on new features. I am sensitive to the distribution of work and want to make sure that everyone gets to work on new things. Of course, you’re also welcome to come talk with me directly. One last thing…For anyone reading this post, I also wanted to mention that we recently had Google photograph our office for their “street view”. You can virtually tour the Videa office here: http://bit.ly/2w1R2KB.

Pros

This company holds the best of both world's - start-up culture/freedom to innovate and serious backing $$$ by a big company - in the palm of its hands. There are talented people in place to make the platform succeed. Management and even Cox leadership are more than open to hearing suggestions and they genuinely want to empower employees to drive Videa to succeed, which it will. There is a fairly flexible work schedule, generally nice people from a cross-section of industries - tv, advertising and tech - all (mostly) working together to deliver a programmatic solution and grab a large slice of what promises to be a huge market. Benefits are excellent; laid back atmosphere; good perks (WFH policy depending on department; monthly lunches; stocked snack room, with keg, candy jars, volunteer opptys etc.). Ongoing opportunities to learn if you want to.

Cons

Can be somewhat siloed, but this is changing for the better. There are some small growing pains happening with the platform that are typical for software development. But for the employees who do not come from a software background, this can be frustrating.

Thank you for your post! We're happy that you're happy! Our flexible work schedule, along with the benefits that Cox brings, is certainly a plus. And we hear you when you say sometimes silos exist. We strive for consistent communication across the company and know we're not completely there yet, but very glad that you're experiencing positive change recently. Thanks again for the feedback!
