Business Outlook
Pros
Many very mission-driven, principled, and smart, thoughtful people work or have worked at Medium. Strong engineering culture with good people managers. If the company can build a successful business changing how publishing works on the Internet, it will be a good thing for the world.
Cons
Lack of autonomy. Product decisions are often handed down, and strategy changes frequently. Many people have left in 2017 either as part of layoffs at the beginning of the year, or in the aftermath, and they are unhappy with their working experience at Medium. But the rating on Glassdoor remains high, probably out of loyalty to leadership and not wanting to ruffle feathers.
