Pros

Extremely supportive culture, high engineering standards and great people. Diverse team with a lot of autonomy to do what they think is right.

Cons

When I was there, Medium was still trying to figure out how to make Holacracy work. I am at least partially accountable for that as I was one of the people involved in the decision to adopt Holacracy back in the early day. Constant change is very challenging, even for the best people.

Pros

Extremely flexible vacation/time off policy, competitive pay, mostly nice co-workers.

Cons

I've never been at a company with such an uncertain, ever-changing strategy. Projects were constantly prioritized and de-prioritized which was frustrating at times. Turnover was high which seemed like a red flag from day one, and my time at the company ended with a layoff. Overall it felt like working at an extremely early-stage startup rather than a company that's been around for a decade.
