Pros: The tech stack is pretty impressive for ad fraud prevention. You learn a lot about the industry. The team's really collaborative, which is great for day-to-day work, especially remote from London.
Cons: Career growth here is definitely a challenge. As a Performance Marketing Manager, there aren't many clear avenues for promotion or upward movement in this startup. It feels like you hit a ceiling pretty fast, and there's not much formal training or development.
Advice to Management: Invest more in formal career development programs. Create clearer promotion paths for individual contributors, especially for those in digital marketing roles. It would really help with retention.

Pros: The actual work in ad tech is interesting, and our platform for fraud detection is solid. My team in the Manchester office was amazing, really supportive. You learn a lot in a fast-paced, growing tech company environment.
Cons: Leadership sometimes lacks clear strategic direction for Digital Marketing Specialist roles. Decisions felt sudden and weren't always communicated effectively. There's a bit of disconnect between upper management and day-to-day operations.
Advice to Management: Try to provide more transparent communication about strategic shifts. Empower middle managers to have more input on decisions affecting their teams. This would really help with morale and clarity.
