Pros
Most of the people who work there are young so it's a good opportunity to make some great friends. However, most of the bounding occurs when complaining about how bad the company is.
Kontras
Let me start off by saying that this is my first review, and normally I wouldn't post a review. However, I know for a fact that a lot of the posts on this site from Specific Media are from the internal marketing department. Working at Specific Media was one of the most stressful periods of my life. The company encourages absolutely no work/life balance. I was expected to be available 24 hours a day including holidays and weekends. When we were not in the office the only socializing that was encouraged after work was with clients. The environment is extremely cliquey and the people who are promoted quickly are the ones who are favored by top management. Intelligence isn't something that is valued at Specific Media on the sales side. Those who succeed are usually the best looking and loudest in the room. The Account Managers who are salary plus commission are never paid in full. On the Ad Ops side those bonus checks that are promised never end up coming. I have heard from several people within the industry that Specific Media is a sinking ship and the investors are no longer giving them money.
