Pros

Zero, this has been the worst stop of my career

Cons

1) I was lied to during the interview process about what was needed. If they had been upfront, I would have know that VidIQ's needs and my skills were not aligned. 2) Management was constantly demanding answers before datasets were stat sig. 3) No onboarding process. No one told me to buy a computer until 2 days before my start date. This lack of process started from day zero until I left. 4) Their data is utter trash. When I showed up you could not connect Email to video stats. They wanted analysis of different users profiles, but the foundation data couldn't support connecting a user profile to video stats. It was a joke. 5) Some of the original employees would push back on analytic needs, even though the company hired two analytic experts and the original employee had no back ground. Everything was a fight with someone who didn't really have the analytic skills but had power with the management

Pros

vidIQ gives you a high degree of independence, You're often given a high level objective, but it's up to you to determine how best to achieve it. No micromanaging here. The culture really values innovation and expects everyone to come to the table with new ideas. Colleagues are constantly learning the latest trends, experimenting with new tools, and sharing updates with the team. Exploration and testing ideas are gold here, failure is celebrated because it means you are trying something new. There is a strong emphasis on AI, which makes it an exciting place to work if you're interested in learning and working with new technologies. It’s a customer-obsessed company, the CEO is always looking to shape the messaging and product to give creators the best experience possible. Leadership is approachable and strikes a good balance between understanding complex situations and making quick, confident decisions.

Cons

It’s a very fast-paced company. With so many important initiatives happening at once, it can sometimes be tough to juggle priorities.
