Pros

This company genuinely changed the game for women and digital media and entertainment brands. Incredible place to work.

Cons

Sadly the big tech companies make it difficult for companies like refinery29 to continue to invest in making great content. The sale to Vice was the beginning of the end.

Pros

The team both on the commercial and editorial side were the most talented, smart, passionate and fun group - genuinely dedicated to properly representing modern women and gender expansive groups.

Cons

Promoted a sometimes unrealistic hustle culture, impacted young people’s perspectives of what success should look like.
