Pros

Unlimited PTO and remote work Editorial teams are smart and creative

Cons

-Execs that would rather generate bogus reviews than address the problems people are trying to bring to light. -Silencing staff with reminders to stay in our lanes instead of considering alternative solutions -If your title doesn’t start with VP or above, you don’t have a voice here. -HR has no interest in actually being helpful to anyone. They clearly serve at the pleasure of the execs instead of the staff. -Even in pursuit of good optics, they manage to make the worst possible choices. It’s as if they have no advisors with any experience. -Zero women in leadership while they repeatedly claim that they are trying to fix it and just hire more men. -Town hall meetings claiming to practice transparency while they pre filter questions and essentially blow hot air for an hour.

Cons

Here lies Recurrent, laid to rest under the weight of its own missteps: Overhired, then underhired, resulting in millions spent on severance Sold off once-cherished brands to service crushing debt Yearly C-suite jumbles with three CEOs in three years and a revolving door of revenue leaders Chased away every editorial genius who might have driven actual revenue Chased away all talent with no backup plan to replace them Quite literally forbade editors from writing what they knew would resonate Invested nothing in technology—not even enough to manipulate Google effectively Ignored every expert voice—external and internal contractors alike Cultivated zero culture, living only in the shadow of the next inevitable layoff The sole silver lining: upon liquidation, someone might finally acquire these once-cherished brands at a bargain May its fumbled strategy serve as a cautionary tale. Rest in pieces.
