Pros

Cool technology, amazing non-leadership people, great services organization, data science team is awesome, sales team has some of the best sales reps and nicest people I've ever worked with

Cons

Leadership is completely devoid of empathy and respect despite their lip service. They laid off ~20 people on Zoom in groups of ~5 - not even individually after all the individuals contributed. No respect whatsoever. A complete disgrace. They talk all the hot air about respect etc. but they DO NOT respect or value you. The Chief Commercial Officer Abed Farhan ran a team of 9 people and didn't have one-on-one conversations with his team - how can you call yourself a leader and not talk to your team? He's nothing but a cheerleader. Sales leadership has no clue what they're doing and everyone knows it. Poor leadership and inability to lead the team is a huge risk for the company. Sales leadership is in way over their head. The lack of financial growth speaks for itself - the sales team never hits their quarterly targets, even when they LOWER the targets to try and save face. It's the elephant in the room nobody mentions at monthly company meetings. It's a ticking time bomb and it will all comes crashing down soon enough - I am "positive" about that. Their entire "hail Mary" long-term strategy is to get acquired and it shows. This is another elephant in the room at Lytics. Stay far, far, far away from this sinking ship of an organization with the worst, most toxic leadership team I have ever had the misfortune of working under.

Terrible work environment and culture

Pros

1.) Highly talented and fun coworkers depending on the team 2.) Great location in downtown Portland 3.) Okay benefits, however they were reduced every year I worked there and there still isn't any 401k matching.

Cons

1.) The product doesn't meet most customers' needs and the customer engineering team is doing all sorts of work-arounds for them. When the customer is inevitably unhappy and churns because the product they were sold initially doesn't meet their use cases, the already stressed customer success team gets blamed. 2.) Employees are not given an opportunity to grow or change teams. 3.) There is very much a "bros" culture. If you're not part of it (or a woman), expect to be paid less, given fewer opportunities, and treated more critically. 4.) High employee turnover rate and dissatisfaction. Company asks the employees about the general morale and happiness but then refuses to act on it in any meaningful way. 5.) Leadership will change initiatives every couple weeks, rarely getting input from the teams most knowledgeable and most affected. 6.) Product needs QA 7.) Terrible cross-team collaboration, lots of blame going around instead. 8.) I've both witnessed and experienced discrimination at Lytics. Stay away.

Pros

I did meet some great talented people that have all either left or have been laid off.

Cons

1. Product isn’t good enough to do what it’s supposed to do. Company can’t figure out how to position it’s product. 2. Management changes strategic direction every other day. 3. Close knit group of folks that have all worked together from previous companies. If you aren’t one of the ‘dudes’ that worked with top management before, and you get offered a job, think twice before you take it. I have seen way too many really good talented people get fired within months of getting hired. 4. Really high high rate of employee turnover. 5. Haven’t met sales goals in three straight quarters. 6. Customer retention is in the dump.
