Being able to work with some of the most creative staff members bring out the best in you as an employee and pushes you to bring forth your best work.
Work in new media can sometimes feel unfulfilling but working at Blavity you get do work that serves the community in which you’re from and seeing the impact of that work reinforces the reason why we do what we do.
Cons
As with many startups there are moments of overload when it comes to work. Learning how to balance work and life is key. Sometimes things can seem overwhelming but leaning on your teammates brings reassurance.

Cons
Blavity's micromanagement was absolutely suffocating. I literally could not send a client email without someone questioning my word choice or demanding to know why I included that person on the thread. Every single decision got routed through some approval chain and nobody would even explain why they said no, just "not approved" and silence. I started to feel like my manager was waiting for me to fail, like the hiring process was a mistake and now I had to prove myself every single day all over again. By my third month there I completely stopped suggesting anything because every idea got was the kind of slow trust erosion where you don't notice it happening until you realize you've already mentally checked out.
