Vantaggi

3 free lunches per week Beautiful office in downtown Seattle Smart people - rank and file employees are sharp as tacks and very friendly Kitchen is fully stocked with drinks and snacks

Svantaggi

Incredibly poor compensation, both in terms of salary as well as equity Benefits are meager at best No sick days - if you fall ill, you're expected to either take one of your precious vacation days, or work from home and produce like you're 100% 401K takes several months to vest Hours are long - employees are expected to be in the office from 9-6 at a minimum, and then to spend additional time on nights and weekend Leadership spends too much time on IC work and not enough time leading and teaching - communication is poor Process is needlessly complicated and laborious Tech debt is gigantic, but never gets paid off - its simply not a priority Leadership is always looking for the next 'get-rich-quick' opportunity, leading to employees being overburdened and randomized Company strategy seemed to change and pivot every month - its hard to align with a constantly moving target Product is managed horizontally, not vertically, forcing needless inefficiency on product team So. Many. Meetings. Very inefficient use of time. The company has a drinking culture, perpetuated by the CEO Unless you're super passionate about ad tech and don't care about compensation, stay away.

Vantaggi

Our Executive team is composed of some of the hardest working individuals I've ever met and Placed is a reflection of the passion they put into the business. There is no sugarcoating that working at Placed means working hard but it also means working with some of the smartest, driven individuals in the area and working for a growing start-up with a very long future ahead of it. There are little-to-no politics or egos and a lot of respect for each other. Other pros: free lunch, unlimited snacks/food, a benefits packages that continues to get stronger each year, a 401(k) with match (and no vest), flexibility if you need to work from home - and to-the-point, informative meetings which means I can actually do my job.

Svantaggi

Don't sweat the small stuff: we have a large, hard-working Executive team that can be too involved with smaller day-to-day things and details. Define and communicate: as more senior leadership has come on board, it is not always clear who the decision maker or final authority is - or how it's changed as the org continues to grow. Process isn't a bad thing: there is some resistance to implementing process or defining ownership where it's needed which has resulted in some friction between teams (or between older employees versus newer ones).
