MediaAlpha
- Advertising & Marketing
- Los Angeles, CA, US
What employees are saying
The fact that all benefits are 100% paid for by the employer is a unique feature that sets MediaAlpha apart from others. You also can try different things that interest you and pivot to different roles if you like - you're not simply locked into a set role and you can move around the relatively small organization if you find yourself wanting to pursue different types of challenges. I also think it's rare to have such a large percentage of the company be really good people who will selflessly give you their time to help you overcome an issue you're working through.

Bluedog Design
- Advertising & Marketing
- Chicago, IL, US
What employees are saying
Bluedog was built 25 years ago on its PEOPLE. Culture is key here and when we were sold 3 years ago our founder made sure that it was protected. She decided to sell the company back to us in the form of an ESOP. This allows us to protect our culture, continue to grow and evolve as we have always done and follow the vision that our company was built on. We are extremely lucky to have this along with amazing benefits like free health insurance, a sabbatical granted to us every 5 years of service, and the ability to build new services.

When I was on maternity leave, I had an incredible amount of support, not just from my team but built in from the company as well.

It really made what was a big transition in my personal life as smooth as possible for my career. And I really felt cared about as an employee and a person.

The company's founder believes in PEOPLE FIRST and hires accordingly--each office exemplifies the quality of employees Taboola has.

There is more of a work "culture" here at AI Digital than I have ever experienced anywhere else. And to say that about a company that is 100% remote work is really incredible! I believe we all work together as our authentic selves and truly want to work better and smarter for a company that does the same for its employees.

DAS Technology

- Scottsdale, AZ, US
What employees are saying
One thing that makes DAS unique is the culture and the effort the company puts into bringing people together. Programs like DASVentures create opportunities for employees to connect outside of work through social events and activities each month, which helps build real relationships across the company. I've been with DAS since 2025, and I genuinely enjoy coming to work every day.

CMI Media Group and Compas
- Advertising & Marketing
- Philadelphia, PA, US
What employees are saying
This is still largely a family-run business. And that breeds a best-in-class family culture in the face of an industry with so much technology and turnover. Here, we treat others kindly, help each other, have high tenure rates, and ultimately care most about our most important asset - our PEOPLE. And that comes through every day. As with many others I imagine, it is primarily why I've been here as long as I have.

Goldcast
- Advertising & Marketing
- Boston, MA, US
What employees are saying
As a new employee, I was never treated like a new employee or made to feel like I don't know anything. I feel like often times when you are starting out at a new company, leadership (whether by accident or on purpose), can often make you feel like they do not trust you yet. I was immediately trusted and given opportunity to show my strengths and take on projects based on them. It made me feel great, and like I can really grow here and play into my strengths without the setback of having to "earn" trust or respect.

Eightpoint Interactive, Inc.
- Advertising & Marketing
- Fort Myers, FL, US
What employees are saying
Telling friends outside of the company about our work atmosphere at Eightpoint tends to make people quite jealous. The company genuinely treats the employees as top priority, both with the benefits and in day-to-day interactions. If someone takes time off, the rest of the team encourages them to turn off notifications and enjoy themselves. People take accountability for their tasks, and there isn't micromanagement. We work together, we hit goals together, and we celebrate together - celebrating both incremental progress and the final result.

Brains On Fire, Inc.
- Advertising & Marketing
- Los Angeles, CA, US
What employees are saying
It's rare air in the ad industry to actually feel human. Most agencies are great at making you feel like more than a number & at first. But that usually fades fast. Brains, almost to a fault, puts the human first. It's not easy to stick to your values when there's a lot on the line, but Brains holds the line. The care and passion for both the person and the professional is second to none.
