Pros

Complex Media works to constantly maintain a sense of company culture and not loose its creative edge.

Cons

When I was hired, I was trained by an employee who already mentally checked out. My training was not sufficient, and my managers were so overwhelmed with their own workload that they lacked time to help me grow in my role. Luckily, I was able to learn on my own by thinking outside of the box.

Pros

I interned for Complex in 2014. Great place for self-starters, they encouraged me to go after almost all of my story pitches. Laid back, young office atmosphere. Casual dress code. Met Waka Flocka Flame once.

Cons

Unpaid, which is a little ridiculous considering how much work interns do on a full-time schedule. Would've liked a slightly more structured environment, sometimes work would be few and far between. Management is making stories way more click-bait-y now, which makes me hesitate to put Complex on my resume. I did a few paid freelance stories during and after my internship, and reimbursement took way, way longer than it should have.
