Medium reviews

- CEO is incredibly bought into the future of the company. Super accessible and is active in meetings (company). - Transparency is super high! I've experienced a lot of transparency throughout the interview process and as I was being onboarded. - Mission driven and super focused on pushing forward consciously. It's clear that the company has been through it the last year and change. Those that remained post VSP are super motivated to build an amazing product for users and improve culture. - I personally feel there's a lot of diversity in MGMT and across the company. There are tons of women in leadership positions (i.e. VP of eng, VP of Marketing, VP of product, Head of recruiting and the list goes on). I look around and also see a lot of URPs represented. As a URP myself, it's super nice to see! - Smaller company, a lot of autonomy and space to be creative! - great health, wellness plans and other benefits.

Medium is a great place to work if you're looking to grow, have high impact, and are open to adapt when circumstances change. From my point of view, you should work here if: - You like helping your colleagues, whether they're on your team or in a completely different corner of the company. - You don't box yourself into a particular approach, project, or technology choosing to instead focus on the larger goal. - You're willing to take on work that requires you to grow and aren't too bummed or judgmental about inevitable mistakes, whether made by your or other people. Also: - Medium doesn't have ads. The subscription business model puts our writers and readers first and makes a lot of ethical decisions very straightforward. - Salaries are based on the SF Bay Area market no matter where you live. - Additional compensation in way to stock options, educational reimbursements, and other Silicon Valley perks. - People *are* very kind & nice. - Lots of people who've been at the company for 6+ years. Medium is not a place for you if you like to berate your colleagues or so attached to your particular view of the world that everyone who disagrees with you must be evil. Finally, if you're looking to coast in your job, Medium is simply too small of a company for that.
