Pros

- Nice social events - Good work life balance

Cons

- very high resource turn around at every level including senior level. Pubmatic tend to hire senior resources for a few months and then fire them or let them go - lack of transparency and honesty from management team - a lot of politics at every level - lack of accountability at every level - lack of processes, a lot of inefficiencies and lack of documented best practice have had a negative impact on successfully manage growth

Pros

- CEO is dynamic and focused on growing the business - Good work life balance and good office locations - Great transparency as to what the business is doing in terms of revenue and growth achievements - Handful of genuinely talented people but that number is going down as they are moving on

Cons

- Multiple people working here for years and the reason they are here is not necessarily because of talent or ambition but because of the personal relationships they have built. They are also very set in their ways and oppose change as it might affect their positioning within the company - Couple of teams are extremely well protected and even if your job might be dependant on their success, they are very rarely questioned about their contribution to the business - International business is very different to the US one and run by a handful of people. If you are in with them then great, otherwise you just sit as an outsider with very little power to influence positive change - Career development is positioned as 'what you can do in the next 6 months for the company' as opposed to 'this is what you have accomplished and this is what you can accomplish when given more responsibilities' - Incredibly annoying reply all email culture. Birthdays, anniversaries, everything is addressed by replying to the entire company. It is very forced and just clutters peoples inbox and drives focus away from the actual job - People managers in general have no decision making power unless your manager is part of the 'in crew' then you might get somewhere. Also seems to be very little thought put into hiring managers. Reporting lines are more about convenience than actual skillset of a manager to lead a team

Pros

Free office snacks & refreshments. A good social vibe in the UK office.

Cons

1) Redundancies, layoffs & a high turnover of staff was common in all offices 2) Very few case studies were released 3) Internal meetings were often prioritised over external client meetings 4) In comparison to their competitors, they spent very little on marketing yet expected the same level of new business wins. 5) There was a lot of negative sentiment in the UK market towards the PM brand, it was difficult to secure trust on many occasions, this may have changed under their new UK lead and probably originates from the massive round of layoffs they made. 6) It was common practice for people globally to be let go without warning, this made many uncomfortable.
