Don't fall for the hype - Anonymous employee Tastemade Employee Review

Where do I start. HR is not really HR, it's just a person who has no idea what they are doing. I was lied to from the start. About everything. My title, my compensation, my benefits, everything. Nothing regarding your job offer is truly done in writing so they can lie to you. No one at the company takes responsibility for ANYTHING. It's a constant finger pointing of who did and said what working there. Leadership is terrible and the sales team is prioritized while the team members building the campaigns are underpaid and under valued. And not to mention the countless sexual misconduct cases that HR and upper management seem to turn a blind eye to. Layoffs are frequent, the people are mainly unfriendly (in certain offices), it's a money machine. They do nothing if it is not prioritizing their bottom line, including hiring more qualified staff, an actual HR department, and taking care of their freelance/permalance staff who basically keep this company afloat. As an employee there you are disposable and there is zero company culture. I was vastly overworked. From the outside looking in, it seems like a cool company, but don't fall for the hype. I've worked at many media companies and this was by far the worst.
