Pros

If you work hard, and stay loyal to the company, Complex does reward you. They try very hard to retain good people. There is a friendly team atmosphere, and it's likely you'll make many good friends there.

Cons

Challenging work environment - it's hard to disconnect from work. Keeping a good work/life balance was the main challenge.

Pros

Fun culture, pretty laid back environment

Cons

Management and the company as a whole is extremely unorganized. There is very little care for employees. Constant power struggle between management. There is no focus on producing long-term solutions for ongoing issues. Internal processes and very inefficient. Management does almost nothing if you propose new ideas or solutions. Even though Complex was bought out by Verizon Hearst and laid off 10% of employees, they are not giving bonuses.
