Pros
Pay is above average for position. That doesn't make it worth it though. Culture was toxic from the first day, and reinforced in every interaction.
Cons
Where to start... everyone at the company seems to hate the CEO and likely each other. Every single person I onboarded with had something bad to say about another staff member, and was warned that the CEO frequently curses to employees faces. Quite the team there. - They require NY staff to be full time in person, yet are incredibly contradictory when half of the staff is remote and overseas. - No COVID precaution in the office, no check for vaccines, no mask wearing. - During my interview, was told that in-office hours were loose, but showed up on the first day to none of my supervisors being in office, and then being told it was a strict 8:30-6pm schedule. - Twice weekly mandatory team lunches? - Office is open environment yet silent all day as everyone seems to be walking on eggshells. - Lack of organization, consistent with startup culture, okay, sure. - Was told that "if you don't have it in writing, it doesn't mean anything, and even then it's still not a guarantee" regarding approved work, taking time off, going out for your lunch hour etc... - The media site is focused on being a glorified sales funnel for clunky tech that doesn't properly load - On first day, was told to read hours worth of material that reinforces toxic work culture - encouraging working late and Netflix's culture of getting fired quickly. - You'll notice that many of the Glassdoor reviews were posted on the same day in September 2021, almost as if someone brought to their attention the negative reviews in their resignation email.
