Pros

Perceived to be an innovative player so looks good when showing mates. Some really good people there, who are slowly being reduced to shadows.

Cons

Under the hood, it is an entirely manual creative process, with a completely fictitious message that it utilises AI. The only technology is based on 10-year-old tech, Moka, which you can buy anywhere. Everything else is a large group of cheap labour in India doing all the work manually, from analysing the content (they don't use the AI stuff because they don't want to and because it doesn't work properly) and they don't have that much volume anyway, through to the actual delivery which is done using Adobe tools and again lots of hard graft by a team in India. Their message to investors and the market at large is just fiction. All the 'success' the new management has had to date was just things coming in from before their time. Tencent was long in the making due to needing custom development and came through despite new management, not because of it. All the new initiatives have resulted in zero results and the consultants they've brought in have generated zero results. Also great to see everyone getting a 3% pay increase, except for the senior management like the CFO patting himself on the back with a 15% increase for not quite having spent all the cash in the bank while not making any money. I could keep going but glad I've moved on from this disaster story now.

Mirriad Response

Thank-you for taking the time to give us a review. We run an anonymous survey to garner employee feedback and this quarter there were some negative comments, quite understandably, but also many good ones and some serious uplift in positive responses for the new management and structure. One of the things we had to do was to address some pay issues where people had initially joined us at lower than market rate for various reasons. It was important that the people we needed to keep stayed with us as we continue to grow. Our India office team do work extremely hard as you say but AI is definitely front and centre for us - we are in the process of adding more people into that team as the Mirriad tech is the beating heart of our business. As they say, you can't please all the people all of the time. I hope whilst you were with us you gained some experience you hadn't had previously - even if that was learning to deal with working in an environment you didn't enjoy. Mirriad prides itself on hiring great people and you will have been one of them! Thanks for everything you put in during your time with us. We wish you all the best
