Pros

The people who work at BF are truly the best. A great work/life balance overall though.

Cons

Leadership is very chaotic and the reorgs are nonstop. A stressful place overall to try and build roots.

Pros

Healthy, respectful, friendly work culture. Great work/life balance. Fulfilling work with opportunities to partner with amazing brands. Supportive upper management. Lovely co-workers.

Cons

I loved working at BuzzFeed, but my time there was mired by frequent lay offs. Pay could have been better, too. Otherwise, it's a wonderful place to work.
