Small Company With Big Promise - Anonymous employee Lost Debate Employee Review

Without a doubt the best job I've ever had. We all care so deeply about our mission, the culture is extremely positive, the people are fun, collaborative, creative and focused. Micromanagement doesn't exist here. We all work hard and take our working methods seriously. In term of the benefits, perks, and WFH flexibility, it really doesn't get much better either. But most importantly, the leadership of the company wants us to be successful. So much is invested in our personal development and growth. Managers are not bosses here, they are coaches and mentors. They believe in us to do our best work and give us the flexibility to be creative with our jobs. I genuinely could not have imagined for a better team to be part of.

If you're not looking to do great work while improving your skillset, this is not the place for you. And I don't say that to sound like a snob -- I have plenty of friends who are quiet quitters so that they can focus on other things. I get it. This just isn't the place for that.

Paid above market rate for media jobs Outside of management: some of the best colleagues I've worked with

Without a doubt: the most unprofessional working environment I've ever experienced. Framed as "changing the future of journalism" and "combating misinformation and polarization;" ended up just being some guy's podcast. The team was a group of dedicated and talented people who were forced to dance around an abusive CEO's fragile ego to try and get any work done. I would tell folks to avoid this company like the plague, but luckily, that shouldn't be an issue going forward ... in 2022, management started firing folks left and right before imposing layoffs for the majority of the team. The YouTube channel is now completely gone, erasing the work + portfolio of everybody involved. They even "rebranded" as The Branch ... it seems the Debate ended up Lost after all.
