Pros

Growing, Cool vibe, Cool space to be involved in right now, Has awesome potential if they use it correctly

Cons

Unfortunately the company may be growing too fast for their own good. I think they are beginning to devalue their employees. The company has such great potential, but they should understand- the people that work there are the life and soul of the brand. I think this elementary lesson is getting lost on the higher ups.

Pros

Refinery29 was training day, every day. The pace and creative expectations forced you to sharpen fast. I cut my teeth here over four years and came out a fundamentally better strategist. The work was culturally plugged in, the people were sharp, and you were trusted with real responsibility early. If you wanted to learn how brand, content, and audience intersect at speed, there was no better place.

Cons

The intensity that makes it a great training ground also means the environment runs hot. Not everyone thrives in that — and depending on your team, support structures varied. The company went through a lot of change during my time, which created some instability.
