Pros

Impact Theory is like no other company you will work for in that it will change you in profound ways both professionally and personally. This is a true startup environment: fast-paced, exciting, and entrepreneurial at its core. Not only will you have the incredible opportunity to be on the bleeding edge of new media, social, and storytelling, but you will be inspired day in and day out by the guests, the ideas, and the fans. Impact Theory is ahead of the curve of what it means to be a mission-based, community-based company. But most importantly, the work you do at Impact Theory transforms people's lives and has a resoundingly positive impact on the world. You know that because every day people reach out and share their stories about how the content and community have changed them in profound ways. And that's what makes it all worth it.

Cons

You will want to be very passionate and dedicated to the mission, or you may find the break-neck pace difficult to manage.

Pros

The challenging and toxic work environment makes the team developed a strong sense of camaraderie and support for each other.

Cons

Impact Theory for was one of the most painful work experiences. The company's mission of "changing lives" is a complete farce, especially when you consider the low-quality products they churn out. Tom, the head of the company, seems to live in a bubble, believing that his products can single-handedly transform people's lives. While he's generally a nice guy, his moments of public insults are both unprofessional and hurtful. But it's Lisa who truly makes this company a toxic environment. She preaches confidence and empowerment, but her behavior towards her team is anything but empowering. She's rude, arrogant, and treats her employees like disposable assets. Her tyrannical leadership style has driven countless talented individuals out of the company, her whole team has turned over multiple times. If you're looking for a company that values its employees and actually cares about its mission, Impact Theory is definitely not the place.
