      Pros

      Flexible environment, good team culture,

      Cons

      The publisher team in APAC is very weak and lean. All the decisions are made in the US and zero understanding of the APAC/SEA market. They think western cultural insights can flourish in SEA

      No so fun for me

      Pros

      Nothing too much on the pros side except there were some nice people, good location and occasionally free beer and food.

      Cons

      Terrible management. Senior Management is out of touch with reality and play favorites with others who fall in line. They are then let in on the gossip which comes mostly from the coo. If you are part of his club you are typically a follower and have no opinion... Sheep will love it, if you have an opinion, not so much.

      Pros

      Company trip (which has since been cancelled as the company is struggling financially). Free snacks.

      Cons

      Everything the previous reviews mention about the COO (now CEO) and culture are true. He is a full blown narcissist who thrives on creating a culture of gossip, mean girls, cliques and drama. Below him he has created a team of OG's as they call themselves who have been part of GumGum the longest. The majority of them rarely come to work, frequently miss sales goals, create so much drama (they get nearly every VP fired) and yet they magically get promoted every year. In both sales and account management there's a ton of talent below the OG's but unfortunately we never get proper recognition so people are starting to leave.
