Pluspunten
If you can get on the good side of leadership in the Los Angeles office, you are fortunate and likely headed for a promotion. The main way to do this is to look and speak like the leadership and become one of their "yes" men. The New York office is much more of a 3/5 star workplace from my time spent there. It's corporate, but it's predictable.
Minpunten
The environment is toxic and the leadership they have in place shows no interest in improving things, instead doubling down on questionable strategy (usually pulled from the latest TechCrunch article or Twitter trend) or more dangerously, using data to paint inaccurate results to further their cause. Seeing extremely junior employees be promoted to Director with reckless abandon is not only disappointing, it's dangerous. Inexperience and ego reigns supreme, thanks to way-too-early promotions. This is a combustible situation and is publicly very apparent given the consistent bugs and issues (or lack of growth) across all key products. Each week of the season brings new issues that we can only shake our head at. For a company so blatantly focused on revenue, it's amazing they continue to ignore the poor job the leadership in LA is doing. Inexperience is rewarded with Promotion... Egos are inflated... Numbers and metrics don't hit goals.... Rinse... Repeat.
