NowThis Reviews

Management is awful - across the board. There's no balance between micromanagers, who keep you at work until 11pm every night to managers who don't care at all about you as an employee and only care about their personal gain. There's a blurred line between business and personal relationships and managers will often side with their friends. Pay is super low and opportunity for advancement is slim to none. They'd rather higher above you then help you grow.

The company is fundamentally directionless. It doesn't know if it wants to be a news organization or a content studio. There's the financial pressures, which went from bad to worse because of covid...which means people get moved from project to project for the sake of keeping them employed. This is admirable but it kills off opportunities for growth. And then there's the lack of editorial direction. Midlevel and senior management are cliquey and complacent and more consumed with talking about the news than making news. A lot of conversations about diversity and social justice (while undoubtedly important) come at the expense of figuring out what NowThis can do as an organization to break through and raise its profile.
