Pros

Amazingly free environment, creativity in bounds, and fun social perks. Really great internal community and lots going on. Generally, your supervisor directly above you cares a lot about your personal growth.

Cons

The vision of Refinery29 is a "throw something at the wall until it sticks" mentality, which means they talk a lot about a "vision" but the practice is whatever is working that day. Expect high school-level back dealing, and employees to "disappear" without notice or warning or a peep from upper management. Also, a yearly raise is kind of a joke.

Pros

You get to work with amazing people

Cons

Somehow management is devoid of amazing people. They seem to be always working against their subordinates
