Pros

- I met really talented people that I still connect with today - improved my skill set

Cons

the negative reviews on here are true. not an exaggeration. at all. after the first wave of layoffs, the company was never the same. Dont get me wrong, im aware that a company isnt a "family," but higher ups are ruthless and love a good blame game. I had 5-6+ managers. Why? They couldnt figure out what kind of person they needed and constantly threatened to fire them and/or their team members. I was a victim of a layoff. I don't have ill will towards anyone. I don't feel angry towards them, but they need to figure things out. I waited a long time to write this in an effort to be as impartial as i could be. - no room for growth. want a promotion? nope. they'll hire out for that. - job security? ZERO. they did layoffs like clockwork. seems like its still the case :/ - morale is at an all time low.

Pros

I love working at Scale Media. The remote setup gives me the freedom to manage my own time and still have a life outside of work — which is rare these days. Leadership genuinely cares about you as a person, not just an employee. I feel trusted, supported, and appreciated here. It’s the kind of place that reminds you good companies do exist.

Cons

Because the team is fully remote, you sometimes miss out on the little in-person moments — but the culture makes it easy to stay connected.

Pros

Remote flexibility, generous PTO and mental health days, small monthly WFH stipend

Cons

The company is constantly shifting direction without a clear plan, and executive leadership never really seems aligned. There have been repeated layoffs, no real sense of where the business is going, and a lot of energy poured into AI without it feeling tied to a viable strategy. Morale is dead. People are basically moving through the day like zombies, nodding along to half baked, ChatGPT written strategies because everyone is afraid of ending up in the next round of layoffs. Growth is beyond limited, it’s virtually nonexistent. Roles can and probably will change significantly from what you were hired to do, and it’s very easy to end up owning outcomes without having the authority, context, or support to actually drive them.
