Pros

Lunch provided for 4 days a week snacks happy hour

Cons

Never made any profit - or for that fact enough revenue in one quarter to pay salary for entire year for one employee Extremely political - managers run the show - need to act like a pet to the manager Firing is extremely common - people who have worked for over four years and performed were fired for no good reason Company is shrinking not growing - at one point there was team in PH with 50 people, most of them are fired now - only 15 left. Bad culture Honest advise to anyone who want to join the company - ask HR how many people were let go/fired?

Pros

My overall experience at Adchemy has been very good so far. The hiring process was swift and smooth. I met with a good number of people, including the CEO. They were very friendly and excited about what Adchemy was doing. My hiring manager did a great job in addressing my concerns and gave candid answers to all of my questions and concerns. The offer was fairly competitive. I am a member of the research group. It is a small sized dynamic team with some very smart folks from the top universities. It has been an excellent learning experience so far. I have had an opportunity to make some core contributions in the project I am working on, in a relatively short time. There is ample freedom to experiment with any idea and implementation for the problems I have been working on. I have worked with a good number of people in research, engineering, and PM; I have made some good friends at work. And yes, free lunch from Monday-Thursday, happy hour on Friday, table tennis, x-box, movie nights, etc. :)

Cons

Some senior employees left since I joined; we are not yet profitable (though we have good funding).
