Vantaggi

I have been with Turn for almost 3 years and it has been an amazing experience so far. I came from a fortune 100 company and I did not know what to expect but let me tell you that this has been a great choice both at the personal level and for my career. If you want to learn how technology is reshaping the online marketing, Turn is the company for you, we innovate on a daily basis. More then 400 projects are delivered yearly by our talented engineering team. Coworkers are amazingly bright and always willing to help when necessary, in my team there is a great sense of union and support. Marketing team has done an amazing job to make our brand stand out as one of the most recognizable in Adtech, our clients love it and we get praised for it all the time (so kudos to the marketing team). Our technology is second to none, we beat all the other DSPs on 1:1 face offs hands down. My manager is amazingly supportive for all the activities related to my day to day job and empowers me to go above and beyond my daily duties for me to stand out and contribute to strategic team decisions. Him being a huge believer in work life balance help me find the perfect middle ground between long days of work and impromptu time offs to relax and recharge (thanks to the unlimited vacation time - which we do not abuse) People are recognized for being key contributors on a monthly basis in front of all the company's employes, it is a fantastic example of how hard work should be paid back. Salary and benefits are very good (401K match still missing but hopefully will be enabled soon) After almost 3 years I stay strong and love my job.

Svantaggi

Work can be hectic at times as clients are very demanding, but this should not scare you as this is normal in the ever changing world of ad-tech. Career path progression needs to be better define by HR so for all the employees to have a sense of timing and deliverable tied to their career advancement - I know this is a work in progress and will be addressed soon. As a market leader I feel we are giving too much attention to what the "others" are doing versus focusing on the areas that we want to innovate and lead upon - we have the potential to reshape the way marketers and brands will thrive in this almost saturated industry.

Been around for so many years, but still struggling with some of the recent tech advancements that competitors have available. Need to be able to adapt faster.

Vantaggi

Turn was a place where some of the brightest minds in the Bay Area made some truly amazing ad-tech technology. During 2009-2013, we were *well ahead* of all competition when it comes to technical innovation and amazing reach and infrastructure. Some of the best engineering in silicon valley was being done at our HQ in Redwood City. The perks were great for a startup, we worked long hours, but we truly enjoyed the work. Over those four years, the company grew 10x in size, no matter if you measure headcount, transactions, revenue.. It was a place where you could really learn a lot and make meaningful contributions, up till about the 2012 or early 2013 timeframe.. exactly the time that the company should have IPO'ed.

Svantaggi

With a hypergrowth startup comes a transformation, and risk. The management needs to have a vision and give strong guidance. Instead, our management shifted with the wind, didn't have the seasoned steady hand to guide the helm, and created a distracted, shifting energy that made us lose steam. Rather than focus on our strengths and sell the Turn story, we were always watching what others were doing, afraid of our own shadow, and trying to become a "SaaS" company, for whatever reason. After our second CFO was fired within a year, it was obvious that a clean exit wasn't going to happen.
