Good people, difficult path forward

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Collaborate with smart and dedicated individuals who are passionate about turning out high-quality work. Employees are proud to be making a positive impact. Good health benefits and 401k matching. Pretty positive work-life balance and common-sense schedule flexibility.

Cons

Little to no growth opportunities for the majority of employees. The review process has improved, but employees do not have a view of career next steps outside the current year. Well-meaning exec team, but while big-picture goals are important, they need to be more supportive of the managers and lower-level employees. High turnover rates and burnout are seen for this reason. The expectations of what can be accomplished and how the company can scale are unrealistic for the size of the current (hardworking) workforce.

Vibrant community dedicated to substantive DEI work

Pros

Been here over two years and have seen a real, substantive commitment to DEI work both internally and externally. It's a slow process but the leadership is committed to it at the highest levels and as a POC, it feels real.

Cons

The organization tends to take on A LOT because it's so mission driven. This can mean resources aren't always there to support everything.

Pros

I worked with interesting people

Cons

Too much work for too little money. Many editors were doing work from home outside of job hours to try and keep up, but most were hesitant to admit it.
