Pros

With any type of start up comes progressive benefits, fun work environments, new ideas flowing the was definitely the case in the early stages of Recurrent (2020/2021). I think the HR team did a really great job at continuing to improve benefits, but you can only do so much to offset the toxicity.

Cons

It all starts from the top down, in this case North Equity, the board and the ELT at Recurrent. There was massive layoffs of teams that were not communicated to the team leaders, everyone was blindsided, it felt cruel and not strategic in any way. They keep people in management and upper management roles who have less knowledge and do less work than the people they are managing. Pay isn't leveled, processes aren't followed and overall it's a completely toxic environment. I don't recommend working here.

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.
