Hi all, I know verizon media as a company is going through tough time but how does ads division in that hold up especially with respect to wlb and engineering culture in terms of learning ? thanks for the help. I appreciate it. Tc: 170k yoe:5
It depends which ads team there are many teams and everything different. Some good, some bad. Comp will be similar to your TC, so if moving from cisco, try all other places
ah thank you. any word about learning and good engineering practices ?
I don't know the teams but heard mixed review so not sure. Also what you mean by good engineering practices, cuz sounds vague?? Learning depends on you, not the company or team. If you want to learn, you can do anywhere
I’m actually in the process of moving to Verizon Media but its been soooo slow. I’ll be a solutions engineer which is different from what I do now (analytics development). They offered me TC: 115k and my YoE:4
VM Demand Side advertising team is growing fast and had a great year in 2019. Engineering culture is good and there are plenty opportunities you will get to learn a lot.
What questions/topics are asked in interview for front end engineer?
Hey sorry this is old, but did you do the interview and do you remember the questions?
for software engineer or data engineer ?
I’m PM in ads org, wlb is great. I think engineering culture and learning for them is good, engineers I’m working with enjoy the ride and have good leaders. Last layoffs concerned mostly sales/AM teams or PM/eng working on old platforms that were being deprecated.
Have heard DSP and SSP team are doing really well..

WLB is great. At most departments you can work max of 40 hrs per week, sometimes less. It’s pretty chill but also keep in mind revenue is trending downwards. Q4 was surprising that it was flat. It’s hard to see revenue climbing as companies shift to other newer platforms for advertising (ie tiktok). I won’t be surprised to see another round of layoffs at the end of March. They have had two rounds of layoffs since I joined Verizon may of last year.

Unfortunately I am not in the ads eng org so I can’t speak for them. Maybe you can tag @verizon media or @oath @yahoo @aol to hit up folks that now all roll up under vz media umbrella
