Mediacurrent Reviews

Management has become an echo chamber that refuses to admit their own fault in things and no longer listens to employee feedback. "Radical Candor" implementation only goes one way - from the top down. Any pushback is branded as a "negative attitude" and the employee flagged as not being a team player. This only got worse with a slow incoming project list in late 2019 and early 2020, as the company and CRO began underbudgeting projects and holding devs and PMs responsible for going over. Employees are leaving at an alarming rate, and the company will soon be a shell of what it once claimed to be. There's also a lot of talk about how diversity is important, but look no further than the leadership team and list of employees to see how false that is.

• There seems to be a focus on hiring contract, off-shore developers and an extremely high turnover rate on US based developers. • A lot of focus on the design team. Most of whom needed a better understanding of web development. • In more than 18 months, not a single conversation about salary. A review. Goals. Perhaps by design? Bring in US based talent then get rid of them when a review or raise is mentioned. • Don't bother with the retirement conversation. I was told a 3% match when interviewing. What I assumed that meant, was a 100% company match up to 3% of your salary. That is the way most places I have worked have done it. No. Mediacurrent will match 3% of whatever you contribute to your retirement. That means you contribute $100, they give you $3. Then that is only 100% vested after three years of employment, which I now know not many people make it to, outside of a select few developers. Like the title says, "proceed with caution".
