Amazing People - Accounte Executive Emedia Employee Review

One of the best office experiences I ever had. Unfortunately they had to cut all of their operations personnel in Chicago, but I never had a better boss or a more well thought environment.

On the small side. It's hard to see growth opportunities at times.

Casual office atmosphere, friendly & talented colleagues, relatively high base salary & similar benefits, and ping pong, beer and video games in the downtime. Listing recreational activities here as a positive is not a good thing.

A dying industry, an ignorant cost-cutting parent company, terrible leadership and a product that no longer works. Emedia used to lead the pack in its field but is now solidly near last place in an industry that is dying every single day. A common day involves hearing customers call or email that their marketing leads are incorrect, do not respond to communications or were a total waste of money - half the job is literally putting out fires just to secure a quarterly renewal. There's absolutely nothing done to properly market the company or participate in areas where the product still has value. The company is instead losing accounts faster than gaining them, which means there's not enough to go around. And those top enterprise accounts, the ones that spend all of the money each quarter regardless, are in the hands of 2-3 senior reps and not spread among the team. It's why the entire sales team has turned over, multiple sales leaders have come and gone, and there's no end in sight. Ziff Davis acquired the company several years ago, only facilitating the downfall. Product was revamped to focus on cost-cutting, support staff laid off and leadership essentially non-existent to address growing problems in the office.
