      Cons

      It's not a meritocracy at all Staff is generally junior and inexperienced Poor leadership at management level Little if any managerial training Strategy changes constantly People fling around shallow praise constantly, but can't take criticism It's growing too fast No thought leadership when it comes to the actual content

      Temp-to-Perm position

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Amazing office culture, co-workers become friends, a lot of fun internal events, many high profile visitors and clientele, leading global digital media company and tons of room for career growth

      Cons

      Overall, care more about image/brand than employees (i.e. office snack budget for vegan, organic, gluten-free, etc snacks is higher priority than a pay increase for employees). Due to rapid growth, there is a bit of operational disorganization and lack of internal resources to most efficiently perform job functions. Conversion rate for temp-to-perm is EXTREMELY slow!
