Pros
I understand. We all need to work and this company seems OK. You can overlook the poor rating and say it will be different for you. And it could be. Certainly, if you need work what does some anonymous internet person think they are telling you to walk away? But I ask you to look at yourself in the mirror. Are you good at what you do? Do you want to make a real difference? Are you seeking recognition and rewards for your efforts? Then this in NOT the place for you.
Cons
Trust me and the talented professionals who have left this place. Just go someplace else now. This business is not good. You should find someplace that will make you feel your time and your work is valued. You should get paid what you are worth. You should trust the direction and the stability of management. And you cannot do that at IAB. If it were only incompetence, maybe it could be understood. And while incompetence runs rampant, there are actually those who actively work to destroy careers and families. Keep looking. Or at least get a ton of dough. And keep looking. In my tenure, there were lots of people who, without notice or severance, were let go. No reviews. No improvement plans. No discussions at all before being walked to the door. So even if you take the job, you have to keep looking for something else. They have two hands on that rug under your feet and are just waiting to rip it out from under you. You deserve better.
