Pros

-The overwhelming majority of junior people are great people to work with & work extremely hard. -It is a good foot in the door for someone who wants to learn about the programmatic/advertising industry.

Cons

-More toxic & gossipy than a middle school lunch room, and it comes straight from the top. Management has a select few people that they favor and lend their ear to, and everyone else is an outsider. There's a reason that there's massive turnover at the mid/junior levels while upper-management has been entrenched for years. -They are a sales organization masquerading as thought-leaders in advertising. The whole company structure is set up to churn deals as fast as possible, which is fine. But, they become lost when they have to deliver actual results for clients. -Part of this problem is the "products" that Digilant builds in-house. Most of them add little value to actual campaign performance & oftentimes are abandoned several months after they're jubilantly announced. -Culture of burnout. C-level people love to talk about how hard they work, and it makes lower-level employees feel bad for shutting their computers at 5:30. -The stress level seems to run at a constant 8 out of 10. To some degree, it's the nature of the business, but management could do a better job ratcheting things down... it's just display ads after all.

Pros

My first few months at the company have been a largely positive experience. The onboarding process was smooth, and it’s clear the leadership team has put significant effort into building a strong organizational structure. There’s a refreshing level of transparency around the company’s goals and direction, which has helped me feel aligned and confident in my role from the start. One of the standout perks is the remote-first nature of the work. It allows for excellent work-life balance, without sacrificing opportunities for in-person collaboration—the company organizes touchpoints throughout the year that add real value.

Cons

The team moves fast to address gaps and refine internal processes, which shows commitment to long-term stability. However, as processes evolve, it can occasionally feel a bit disorganized. That said, this seems more like growing pains than systemic issues.

Pros

- unlimited pto - nice people - nice benefits -Ability to actually have ownership and manager projects how you see fit

Cons

- pay could be better, no bonuses this year due to not meeting business requirements which was pretty disappointing. (but also prevented layoffs) - If your team is small it can get overwhelming - I notice people work after hours, weekends, and on PTO which doesn't set a good example for the rest of the workers with professional boundaries so it's made me feel like I also have to reply when I'm not working.
