Pros

They are building products for an underserved market which creates lots of opportunities to solve new problems. They are open to risk and are willing to invest in ideas The people that work here own their piece of the business. They treat it like a business within the business. The people that work here are self starters who work independently toward the shared goals of the company. They hire people over experience creating teams rather than individuals.

Cons

The company is flat-ish which can lead to seemingly light oversight, direction, and feedback. The company avoids commitments to rigid process or methodologies which can be uncomfortable for people who prefer to have specific and consistent frameworks to work in

Pros

MediaSilo is a collaborative workplace that gives every employee a voice and a chance to make an impact on the business. Everyone from the C Suite to the most junior person are intelligent and engaged. It's also a pleasure to work with a customer base that makes the most exciting content on the air today.

Cons

It's not a culture for everyone. Only adaptable and vocal people who are comfortable with a rapid rate of change tend to be successful. It's not an environment with a lengthy, structured training process. Only those who thrive with a healthy degree of autonomy find a fit.

Pros

Decent benefits, beer on tap, cool people and clients.

Cons

First of all the company isnt MediaSilo anymore but they haven't started a new Glassdoor. Hmmm: I wonder why Paltry sick days, insular leadership, distracting open office, Lack of mentorship, cram it culture. SHIFT Media has a leadership team of all men, no women engineers and has a hard time retaining people of color and L.G.B.T. employees. The office in Boston is segregated by gender since there are no women at all in engineering. Attitude of hostility toward female engineers by management. If your not an aggressive and opinionated male, don't try your luck here.
