GumGum Employee Reviews

GumGum offers an array of programming to encourage connection amongst our GumGummers.

Sheena Deans, Experiential & Social Media Marketing Lead

In the years I’ve been at GumGum, I’ve had the opportunity to grow alongside the business and play a meaningful role in shaping our value proposition in the market, which I find incredibly rewarding.

I feel that my ideas are genuinely valued, and I’m empowered to turn them into solutions that drive real results for our advertisers. What I appreciate most about our culture is how consistently my team brings our values to life. I also feel personally aligned with these values: being customer-obsessed, making it happen, always innovating, and fostering a strong sense of belonging.

Laura Hicks, Senior Product Manager

Since joining GumGum in 2022, it has quickly become one of the best places I’ve worked. I’ve been given a high level of trust and ownership from the outset, with continuous opportunities to grow, take on new challenges, and make a meaningful impact.

What truly sets GumGum apart is its commitment to fostering a culture of belonging. Through our ERG, employee experience initiatives, etc., this is not just a principle but a lived experience. Creating an environment where employees feel valued, supported, and connected.
