Pros

Once they got a CTO, he was pretty good. They hire a lot of bootcamp graduates, so you get to work with junior programmers from lots of backgrounds. The are a broad variety of open-source technologies in use.

Cons

The CEO managed by yelling and intimidation. Several other managers followed suit. QA was pressured to accept everything. Automated testing was suppressed or ignored. Failing tests were regularly removed rather than investigated. Code quality discussions were limited to whether indenting and line length met the style guidelines. Code structure and maintainability was secondary to writing in job security. Time pressure was such that broken code that looked like it worked was shipped regularly. Security was ignored or actively defeated by developers. Basic security practices were dismissed as too much hassle. The most talented and promising people tend to leave, because there doesn't seem to be another way to advance.

Pros

Campaign management team was a solid place to learn different DSP's and skills. Good PTO, medical benefits, and work life balance.

Cons

Below market pay with raises extremely difficult to get. Awful training and systems on account management teams. Thrown into the fire and expected to create brand new systems without training or support. Team is being held together by duct tape and bubblegum. Does not keep up with tech and AI integration/new tech. iHeartMedia owns Unified so any system changes/promotions go through a ton of bureaucracy. Use of slack and teams, maintaining Microsoft and google emails and communications was chaotic. Management plays favorites and is scared to ruffle feathers in order to promote growth/positivity. Lots of gossip and complaining about coworkers. No company culture or incentives, meet ups, offsets, perks. The work is overall extremely boring and not gratifying.
