Technical Account Manager

Being a woman in tech, I only recently started advocating for myself at work about advancement opportunities. Because of this I wanted to ask this question to my male counterparts. When you have 1:1's with your direct reports and talk about career growth / aspirations what is your managers’ response typically? I’d like to gauge how my experience (negative) differs from others. For instance are you met with blockades, enthusiasm, dread, etc?

    It's a growing company in a fast changing industry so things can change and become a bit hectic at times which might not be for everyone

    Great time to be at Vungle

    Pros

    Vungle is a great company that has always looked after it’s people but in the face of the pandemic the team doubled down to check on people, create a cohesive culture. They hired and onboarded new team members and check-in with people as a group and individually. At time when other companies were tightening their belts, Vungle doubled down on charitable giving and connected to the community even more. With our new CEO things are moving fast and there is a lot of excitement about the direction of the company, the offerings as well as the increased focus on DEI. There have been acquisitions during this time and in each case our CEO really takes the time to explain why we are doing them and how this benefits our growth and makes us a more resilient and rounded company. I’ve also heard from the acquired teams and they say the were surprised by how warmly they were welcomed and at the individual attention. I feel really lucky that during a very turbulent time in the world I am somewhere that cares about people and is committed to the greater community.

    Cons

    Sometimes it feels like things are moving too fast. It can be energizing but also confusing for some people.

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    I have had a great experience at Vungle and am excited to see what is to come with Jeremy taking over as CEO. Pros: 1. If you ask anyone at Vungle, what makes it so great is the people. I love working with my team and my manager supports my growth. 2. There is great career progression if you put in the work and prove yourself. I like Vungle because they continue to recognize my hard work and have allowed me to change departments. Over the years I have been able to take on a lot more than I think I would have been able to at a larger company, and I really appreciated that as It has kept me energized and excited to work at Vungle. 3. You have many opportunities to learn and grow. I used their generous learning program to take courses at a local university in my field, as well as been able to attend numerous conferences that I was interested in over the years. Definitely recommend taking advantage of this program!

    Cons

    I agree with some of the other posts, Vungle does move quickly so can be overwhelming to some but I think I am the type of person that thrives in this environment.

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    It's not 5 stars every day (there are definitely some 0 star days), but the reasons that I stay (and have stayed so many years) and why I feel it's a great place to work at the end of the day: + lots of opportunity for growth My experience and skills have grown a lot here. Vungle is really career-making (former Vunglers all move on to great companies or started their own successful companies). And it's awesome to see the promotion announcements each All Hands. + genuinely good people Good at their jobs and good humans. I have made some very close friends here, and on top of that really respect all of the people I work with. + great benefits I feel like they do care about our whole person. + strong future outlook It was a great monetary bonus to have a first acquisition, the future is bright and I know it's going to happen again. + transparency Monthly all hands, everyone invited to monthly dept meetings (sales, product, engineering, product demos for our newly acquired companies, etc) no matter what dept you are part of--and they tell you things about the future plans for the company/business, hence the strong future outlook! + constant improvement We are always trying to get better, be better, do better and don't just sit back comfortably. Even in areas where things are going okay, we'll still take time to think about how it could be better.

    Cons

    It's a little easier to discuss cons under past leadership. Now that we have a new CEO, a lot of us are waiting to see if the past cons will still apply. What I've noticed over the years: - sometimes too slow to act on feedback If everyone is asking for something, those things should be a priority. For example, we had to ask for WFH for years before anything rolled out. It did happen in the end, but it was way too slow. - tolerating bad behavior too long We all want to give others chances, but there are times when people are given too many chances and it's better for teams to just remove the individual faster.

    Great company experiencing growing pains

    Sep 27, 2017 - Anonymous Employee 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Low ego and collaborative culture. Being proactive will help you get ahead here. From my experience, hard work goes noticed as does humility. There is a lot of opportunity here but, in line with the title, being ambitious and proactive is a key to capitalizing on that opportunity. Since working here I've seen a shift in focus, specifically around product, towards disrupting the big players in mobile advertising. Things may have seemed stagnant from a product perspective some time ago, but the company was experiencing rapid, organic growth. This isn't unique to Vungle but I'm glad it is being addressed. Overall, the culture, opportunity, company trajectory, and collaborative is great here. Typical start up perks include catered lunches, lunch stipend on non-catered days, commuting reimbursement, snacks/food/beer/wine/etc, and gym reimbursement. Pretty impressive for a company of this size.

    Cons

    Lack of maturity with middle management with respect to professional experience. This isn't to say middle managers are immature, but relatively early in their careers' for the position that they're in. This also doesn't go for everyone, but in certain departments there are people who are still figuring out their path that could be replaced with someone who could add much more value. Some higher level managers/VPs seem to get too caught up in the weeds but that is expected in a business at this stage. Another con would be the lack of data quality & knowledge of legacy systems. For a company this young, obtaining clean data shouldn't be such a struggle. Finally, the ambiguity around high level strategy from top management is somewhat discomforting. I'm confident it doesn't mean bad news but some more transparency would be appreciated.

    Want to "punch above your weight"? Work here

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    + Liberal with Responsibility: People are given responsibility if they are able to prove efficacy. Personally I've been asked to do things that I was some what under qualified to do. The company trusted me and things got done. + Career Growth: I've have 4 promotions in 3 years. As the company grows this will slow down but since the business shows no signs of slowing down, I don't see how we wont promote others as well. + Colleagues actually like each other: Unlike other "high growth startups" Vungle has a strange culture where people hang out after work and on the weekends together. This freaked me out at first but I've grown to love that. Personally I've referred 10 friends and had 4 hired. + International: We have 7 international offices. I've traveled all over the US, Asia, Europe and Latin America because of Vungle. + Benefits: Most underrated thing here. Insane perks to cover things like meals, transport, etc. Because of this I can go to work and not have to worry about basic daily issues.

    Cons

    - Not a WFH Culture: If that's a deal breaker for you I wouldn't work here. - Always On Culture: Since our business generates money around the clock, problems can occur beyond business hours and can't wait to be solved.
