Pros

Amazing group of people with a singular goal of building the next generation of adtech/martech. Everyone is high performing, and the culture pushes everyone to excel at what they do and become the best versions of themselves. We're in a period of rapid growth and are super excited for the differentiated value we are bringing to the digital media space. I have learned so much and my career trajectory has truly reached a new level as a result of the team and dedication to the mission at Surfside.

Cons

Surfside is a face-paced environment. Since the organization is relatively flat, every individual is expected to be accountable for their own projects and productivity. You have to stay organized and focused in order to keep up with the team here. People often mistake Surfside for a "cannabis company". While we do have a very large number of clients and capabilities focused in the cannabis sector, our technology is innovative across all advertising verticals. Those who think this is just another advertising platform for cannabis are severely underestimating what we have built from a consumer data media execution, and attribution perspective.

Great workplace—my team were both friendly and very smart, compensation and health benefits were generous, and I always felt appreciated. I gained a lot of valuable skills and grew a lot while I was there.

Cons

Priorities shifted frequently—typical of a startup—so adaptability was essential.

Pros

Most of the people are great to work with. Generally positive, helpful, smart, energetic, and fun to be around. The mission and positioning of the company is solid

Cons

The org structure is set up for a 20 person company (not 120 person). There is no one in HR/People Operations (not hard to extrapolate challenges with that) There are two CEOs that almost everyone in the company roles up to. This creates bottlenecks, lack of execution, and inconsistent decision-making and leadership. The Product/Eng velocity and execution is not aligned to what the business is selling. Very challenging for remote employees to succeed.
