Cons

Pros

Lots of handouts like T-shirts

Cons

Very silo'd and tech centric environment

Pros

- Amazingly intelligent and empathetic co-workers. Above all else, the people you work with here won't make you dread getting out of bed each morning. - Huge industry opportunity at the intersection of technology and advertising. Above-average product and compelling SaaS-based business model. - Clear value proposition in a notoriously opaque industry. - Senior leadership is overly transparent - sometimes, almost to a fault - with the broader employee base about company direction and strategy. - Scaled, innovative culture; start-up feel at a 700+ person company. Great perks, above-average benefits. - Merit-based performance review: top individual contributors and managers are afforded growth opportunities both vertically and horizontally within the organization. This is not a place where you should ever feel stifled - if you have a way to improve upon process or output, don't ask. Just do it. Even if it doesn't stick, you will be recognized. - Let's be clear: this is a values-based company. Yes, it is publicly traded. But it hasn't been profitable in the 2.5 years since IPO'ing, and if the C-levels were concerned about proving to Wall Street the company could turn a profit, they would have fired the majority of its sales staff like EVERY other ad tech company has already done.

Cons

- Engineering turnover. Understandable in the Bay Area. - Compensation has improved, but remains at- or below-market. - Organizational communication and general infrastructure are wanting. The nature of the industry and the reality of technology companies means that the company often sacrifices long-term stability for short-term relief.

Pros

Nice selection of yogurt and fruits in the kitchens. Office is mostly natural light. People are generally in a good and positive mood while their heads are buried in the sand.

Cons

Shamefully inefficient processes at most levels of infrastructure and engineering. Huge capital burn as a result, lots of frantic fire fighting on a daily basis. Dev teams are very out of touch with how production works and cross-team communication consists primarily of desk-walkup conversations instead of team meetings. Org is obsessed with sprints while the staff is in the dark about long term project goals or overall purpose (aside from trying to profit in the short term). Feels like they're waiting for an IPO, except that already happened. Very flighty feel to the org... will they be around in five years? Culture is overly young and lacks experience working at scale; blissfully unaware.

Pros

The company is growing rapidly on many fronts: market share, revenues, technology stack, and head count. It's an exciting time to be at TubeMogul to experience this kind of growth and how we handle all the challenges that come with it. We are making great improvements with scaling our technology, onboarding new employees, benefits and providing an atmosphere where anyone can grow their career. It is like nothing I've experienced before but exactly what I was looking for in a pre-IPO company. We are definitely winning in our space and it shows from the awards we've received, the kind of talent we are able to attract and most importantly, what our customers are saying about us.

Cons

With tremendous growth to capture more market share and to provide more advanced features for our existing clients, it can get overwhelming with the number of things that need to be accomplished in a relatively short amount of time. There are no shortages of mistakes and late night sessions to identify and resolve them. As the company grows it's beginning to feel that each individual is becoming less important and that responsibility can get easily shifted which can often cause important questions not be asked or ideas overlooked.

Pros

The people, leadership, and culture! Everyday was an absolute pleasure to be surrounded by such incredibly talented, smart, and funny people. Working at TubeMogul is a special feeling, you are warmly embraced not only by your team/office, but by the whole company. I felt fully supported during my tenure, from my initial training until my exit. The culture team in the NY office regularly set up events/activities celebrating milestones like new hires, end of quarter, anniversaries, birthday's, and even Bastille day! It's special and makes the office that much better! TubeMoguls leadership team is driven to change the way media is bought, and it's inspiring work. You can't help but drink the kool-aid and feel like your a part of something amazing. The product and vision are top notch. Definitely ahead of the curve and highly innovative. You have the opportunity to grow so much, and contribute outside of your role. Plan to work hard and give 100%. Know that if you do this - you are rewarded monetarily and with new experiences. I appreciated and loved my experience at TubeMogul. I support the vision, leadership, product, and the team. Always will be rooting for them.

Cons

Need to continue building out the executive team so everyone has mentorship equally.

Pros

This company feels like family to me and is a place where culture trumps everything. I never thought I would work at a place where I am so close to those I work with. The other great thing I love about the culture is that I have yet to find an unmotivated or "slacking" individual. It is truly motivating to have everyone working to the best of their ability towards one goal. I have also yet to find an untalented individual here at this company. Upper-level all the way down to starting positions, everyone is knowledgeable and talented in their own way. We are growing fast and moving fast all the time. I love this pace and continue to learn every day. Coming from a VERY corporate culture previously, I am always surprised at the time efficiency in making decisions and moving forward.

Cons

The hours are long and work is plentiful, this is isn't a "collect your paycheck" kind of job. This is not the kind of job for those chasing dollars, but for those looking for a place they love to come into in the morning. The company is getting better and better at the compensation and benefits.

Pros

tons of perks not too much work

Cons

meaningless work poor management lack of accountability

Pros

There are many things that make this place special: First is people. There is a strong focus on culture which results in a lot of people that are low ego and fun but also smart, hungry and accountable. For many years we have pushed an entire industry to become more transparent and automated. It's inspiring to work someplace so aligned with its clients and focused on doing what's right. TubeMogul is also on the bleeding edge of where software meets advertising, like our work automating TV buying. Lastly, the company builds for the long-term and isn't influenced by short-term pressures. I'm constantly impressed and inspired by how much depth and talent we have around the org.

Cons

Many of the pros and cons of the company are the same. It's about knowing what you are getting into. Given the backdrop of an industry being transformed by software it's a dynamic environment and can often feel like you are jumping from one moving car to another. There is also a "play to win" mentality so while no one cares how many hours you work the pace can be blistering. TubeMogul also has many of the challenges you would expect given all the growth. But the company is self-aware and I've witnessed us continually improve for many years.
