Pros
Refinery29 is still one of the media elite. At its core there are people who truly care about the company, and that definitely goes for upper management. Employees pour their heart and soul into the content we create here, and no idea is laughed at. No intern is ignored.
Cons
The industry is in a constant state of turbulence and Refinery29 has managed to diversify its product through major wins like 29Rooms, Originals, and continued activism leadership; however, as great as the content is the ship will not stay afloat without proper revenue strategy. The revenue team has undergone so many leadership changes over the past few years and there is no one proactively making smart decisions in tandem with the content team. The sellers are painfully underqualified, mismanaged, and unable to lock even the simplest of deals to monetize the content team's ongoing efforts.
