Pros

I feel very fortunate to work at Videa. There is a sense of unity as we are evolving the industry in a way that our competitors aren’t – which is very exciting. The work environment is flexible, diverse and provides for a nice work-life balance with terrific big company benefits. Employees are treated as human beings, not simply resources, and employee success is regularly recognized (but there is too much emphasis on those working “nights and weekends” vs. working smart which can be de-motivating). Overall, I highly recommend Videa!

Cons

Despite the willingness to have an open door policy, leadership travels or works remotely the majority of the time so communication and collaboration is difficult at times. There are also some political issues. Videa is disrupting the status quo in TV buying and selling and several in Cox Media Group leadership positions could be far more supportive of the imminent future.

Thank you very much for your feedback! It's great to hear you're happy working at Videa. That's what we want - engaged employees who are excited about our future. And point taken on supporting “working smarter” not harder. It’s important for everyone (including me) to take a step back and focus on the things that have the most impact. I’ll also make sure leadership sees your comments about being accessible and supportive. Thanks again for the thoughtful post.

Pros

This company holds the best of both world's - start-up culture/freedom to innovate and serious backing $$$ by a big company - in the palm of its hands. There are talented people in place to make the platform succeed. Management and even Cox leadership are more than open to hearing suggestions and they genuinely want to empower employees to drive Videa to succeed, which it will. There is a fairly flexible work schedule, generally nice people from a cross-section of industries - tv, advertising and tech - all (mostly) working together to deliver a programmatic solution and grab a large slice of what promises to be a huge market. Benefits are excellent; laid back atmosphere; good perks (WFH policy depending on department; monthly lunches; stocked snack room, with keg, candy jars, volunteer opptys etc.). Ongoing opportunities to learn if you want to.

Cons

Can be somewhat siloed, but this is changing for the better. There are some small growing pains happening with the platform that are typical for software development. But for the employees who do not come from a software background, this can be frustrating.

Thank you for your post! We're happy that you're happy! Our flexible work schedule, along with the benefits that Cox brings, is certainly a plus. And we hear you when you say sometimes silos exist. We strive for consistent communication across the company and know we're not completely there yet, but very glad that you're experiencing positive change recently. Thanks again for the feedback!
