Pros

Since joining the company more than 3 years ago, it has more than exceeded my expectations. Startup environment gives ample opportunity to pave your own way, opportunities abound for motivated employees to advance, lots of smart, dedicated and interesting colleagues, ability to work on mission-based social causes while in women's lifestyle media, and free snacks!

Cons

As a result of acquisitions, communication between groups needs improvement, multiple offices and remote employee dynamic is sometimes challenging, fast-pace isn't for everyone, and work/life needs more consistent balance.

Pros

My time at SheKnows wasn't always butterflies and roses, but there were certainly more better days than bad. I always felt that I was in control of my professional advancement, received several opportunities to show my ability, and was rewarded when I did my job. I was challenged, sometimes pushed out of my comfort zone, but felt supported when that happened. I think the executive team knows what they're doing and makes the moves they feel best for the company. The environment was fun and casual, flexible and understanding.

Cons

Communication from the top down and across offices could be much better. Technology is a slight step behind the industry and there seems to be a few nagging pain points that, through a few iterations of process and people, still couldn't be remedied.

Pros

Free snacks were a pro here. You will learn a lot here and they are reasonable with time off and work from home requests within reason and they are flexible with your schedule. Dress is comfortable and casual.

Cons

Their yearly reviews are horrible. Even if you do a great job you will be rewarded with minimum raise. It is a very high stress job and management expects a ton from you. It is a extremely clicky environment. If you do not fit in or are not "liked" by others you will feel sort as though an outcast. People love to throw others under the bus and take zero responsibility. They layoff hard working loyal people. Since their acquiring of other companies it seems there has been a huge divide between the NYC and Scottsdale office. They let some people work from home full time and others don't get to at all. Pay could have been more competitive and higher for industry averages. People that work here seem very fake and will talk about you behind your back. Zero work/life balance and you will be working after work and on weekends.
