IAC Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

- Great work life balance - Decent benefits

Cons

- Hardly any communication from upper management - Transitioning within departments is not encouraged

Pros

There was a great work/life balance and true feeling of appreciation for employees. Seemless communication across all departments/levels of seniority.

Cons

There was a hiring freeze while I was employed, making it hard for me to stay within the company, though I really wanted to.

Pros

Great work/life balance. (Management was great about vacations, WFH, etc.) Pay was reasonable. People were nice, if generally uninspiring. Lots of team functions/happy hours (though this may be a negative in some people's books).

Cons

IAC runs their portfolio companies with a very short-term mindset. It's all quarterly targets and "what's the Street gonna think?" This makes transformative product development nearly impossible. (If you're not willing to sacrifice ANY near-term revenue, it's gonna be pretty tricky to come up with the Next Big Thing.) Also, no real growth opportunities across IAC companies. (It's not particularly easy for a mid-level employee to transition from one IAC company to another. You have to apply as if you were an outside candidate, at which point you might as well apply to a sexier, faster-growing outside company.) All leads to a pretty stagnant, second/third-tier feeling company. IAC is the anti-Google.

Pros

Good Work Environment & Work Life Balance

Cons

Need to add more career opportunities

Pros

Good work life balance and benefits. Definitely some advantages being part of a large organizatiton.

Cons

At the mercy of IAC shareholders and corporate politics.

Pros

Good benefits and work life balance

Cons

No comment to make about company

Pros

In the correct corporate function, this can be an excellent place to build your resume and show you worked at rapidly growing sexy internet business which comes complete with an excellent calling card to meet starving startup businesses and the VC community. The people at IAC are ordinarily the smartest in the room. Work life balance is a priority and compensation is competitive.

Cons

While Diller and his cabinet are sophisticated deal makers they are absolutely terrible business managers. For this reason, the business has had no strategy for well over 2 years and the firm is a dysfunctional disaster of arrogant entrepreneurs trading at 3.5x earnings (versus 6.5x of comparable businesses). The corporate environment has no teaming and it is an every man for themselves competition.

Pros

Culture Work life balance good

Cons

Equity upside is very limited

Pros

Daily reporting No one to look for solution Quarterly management meeting

Cons

Very less pay No work life balance during events

Pros

Decent work life balance with summer Fridays and xmas shutdowns. Beautiful office. Decent perks overall. Individuals from directors and below are generally good people that want to do best for the business.

Cons

Senior management. The co-CEOs, I believe, want to foster a culture of accountability but it devolves into a culture of blame. Meetings with them would be held with the intention of public shaming instead of group problem solving. Poisonous culture where individuals don't feel protected. Only those individuals willing to take undeserved credit and blame others for mistakes thrive. Recently, a new CFO has been installed that fit that mode. The CFO is a perfect example of senior management style at IACA. Poor management skills, blames other for his deficiencies, engages in activities that generates limited values, and very low EQ. That hire alone is responsible for the departure of several individuals include the team he inherited.
