Pros

Project Agora has some talented professionals of good character, providing an opportunity to work alongside experienced individuals. Unfortunately, a lot of them are leaving the company. Nevertheless, it’s a good starting point for those interested in building a career in the adtech industry, offering exposure to key aspects of the field.

Cons

Leadership lacks depth in their understanding of key issues, leading to shallow decision-making. Instead of providing meaningful guidance, they tend to micromanage a wide range of activities, which results in misguided directions. The goals set for teams are unrealistic, which creates demotivation. Additionally, the frequency of always-on monitoring chats, meetings, and syncs provide continuous interruptions, often leaving employees feeling drained, hindering their ability to focus on deep, meaningful work. The pay is below market average, and annual raises for even high-performing individuals are far below inflation rates. Employees are often given additional responsibilities under the guise of "development opportunities," but these increased duties rarely come with a corresponding pay increase.

Loved my time in PA. Highly motivated managerial team with ample resources to help you grow professionally and succeed. Only con is that you work hard. But, it is very rewarding and very team oriented.
