Cons

You can't bring your dog to work--but I wish we could! HR says they are working on it.

Cons

A number of really good people have left because of the toxic culture. If you are not tight with a certain senior leader you become invisible and all of your ideas are belittled in meetings. What is worse, is your ideas are then presented later as this great new idea without giving you credit. It is classic sexism. And it happened to me, people before me, and is still happening. I held out for as long as I could hoping that a female CEO wouldn't put up with it, but apparently she does not care.

Don't work there. The atmosphere will impact you whether you experience the abuse firsthand or witness it happening to your co-workers. It is a shame that this is still happening.

Cons

Growing to the next level is challenging

Cons

It's more about personality than work at match; If upper management doesn't like you for whatever reason, they'll prevent you from getting raises and promotions. Upper management also tends to hold onto grudges and doesn't give employees proper room to grow or change. Mid-year reviews and end-of-year reviews mean basically nothing, because everything is at the discretion of upper management rather than someone's direct manager. The office is also too quiet. You would think from a cool place like match that it would be upbeat and positive, but it's not. It's so quiet that you can hear a pin drop from across the room. People at match are quick to give negative feedback and criticism and slow to give positive reinforcement. The other problem is that many people who are in manager roles are not people people, even though it's a people centered business. Match has values which they claim are important, but they really don't seem to matter much and don't seem to be taken into account with anything. Accountability? Out the window. Candor? Don't you dare. Grit? Good luck. Passion? Doesn't really matter since management either likes you or not. Collaboration? Sometimes. Rethink? Nope.

Cons

- Management was horrible
- Mangers & senior directors would change campaigns & ads without telling me/team > then if these changes made the campaigns worse, we would be blamed for it
- Everyone was super emotional about their ads/campaigns and took everything personally
- No one listened to insight or new ideas
- After three months of working there, I still had a manager check what I did every day
- Had to put together a weekly report explaining EXACTLY what I did that week
- INCREDIBLY MICROMANAGING
- You will get 'in trouble' for increasing revenue in a way that your management didn't tell you to do. If you have any ideas on your own, you better keep them to yourself. "In Trouble" means that you will get a super passive aggressive email and told to shut down your campaigns and someone will take you through training again for how to market the way they want you to.
- $40k UNDERPAID for position

If you have any sort of self respect or intelligence, DO NOT work here. They will NOT give you independence. They will NOT allow you to work on anything on your own without someone looking over your shoulder. Respect yourself and work somewhere that actually appreciates you.
