Avantages
Managers, editors, and teammates are collaborative, flexible, willing to help. Great attitudes all around. Fantastic work/life balance -- no clock watchers or micromanagers, and "unlimited" time off within reason. Days are flexible. Pre-COVID, opportunity to work from home regularly. No layoffs during COVID. Many roles available within departments to find what fits you best, lots of opportunities to advance and/or transfer throughout the company. Many culture groups to join where you can meet and talk with employees from different departments on a variety of topics (i.e. Women in Business, Active Lifestyles, Diversity and Inclusion, TT Gives Back, etc.)
Inconvénients
Pay is poor. I negotiated a higher salary during my hiring, only to find out two months later that my salary is now the company standard for entry level new hires. While I have had many promotions and a few raises over the last 4 years, it still does not meet industry standards or even keep up with inflation. While management is friendly and flexible, they can be close minded to new ideas unless it's coming from higher up or from the sales/marketing department. Sales is King at TechTarget and editorial/content creation is not treated with the same respect or given the same monetary compensation -- in salary but also in parties, celebrations, recognition, etc. Diversity is lacking, as well. There is a strong female presence, and many female leaders, but CEO and President are male. There are fewer than 10 BIPOC in the main office of about 500 people. It does seem like management knows this, though, and this year has initiated research into their recruiting practices and surveying employees on diversity and inclusion. A D&I group was started and meets monthly, and a Diversity newsletter is sent out regularly that educates and prompts employee engagement.
