Refinery29 reviews

Healthy salaries Very good work / life balance (I've heard work life balance used to be a problem in the past, but at least in terms of the tech dept I have zero complaints) Lots of opportunity to try new things/implement new processes Very healthy work environment, I have yet to encounter nastiness, back stabbing, aggression Tech here is 50% women, in my two decades of tech work that has never, ever happened before. A lot of very cool events happen here, all sorts of things you're encouraged to take part in, from the 67% symposium to movie events, to 29Rooms, to live talks about racism & other topics of the day. It's a very inclusive environment, and at least from the tech department, there's no major egos clashing and no one talks over you or dismisses you out right. I honestly don't feel like I'm being challenged 24/7 for being a woman in tech. It's refreshing.

R29 creates an environment that fosters individuality, inclusion, productivity and pride in your work. I've never worked somewhere that cares so much about it's employees and you can see that in the company wide emails, Slack channels etc but also the way we move about the building and interact with one another. Not a place where you have to deal with social cliques and feeling alienated -- I feel like I am encouraged to be my authentic self; R29 is all about celebrating that and it definitely carries over to their work culture.
