Pros

Great co-workers and great location

Cons

I 100% agree with the first review here. The founder is a manipulative liar. She acts out of self-interest and has zero direction for this "company". She does not care about her employees, you are easily disposable and just a number. She knows how to sell, that's pretty much the only thing going for her. She will promise you all these wonderful things working here and tell you how "lucky" you are to have a boss like her. She does not care about women either given that she mocks her own mission. The only reason why this company will sell is purely for the domain alone and she knows that. The only good that came out of working here was the people I met and the location. That is IT.

Pros

I loved the pacing of the work and the freedom to make my own decisions about content. I learned a lot about the basics of digital strategy that helped propel my career.

Cons

The company is a bit hands-off in its leadership style, so having self-motivation is definitely neccessary.

Pros

Eventually, you quit or get fired and then you don't have to deal with the CEO and her psychosis anymore.

Cons

Everything, from the compensation to the formulaic and outdated ideas about what a women's media company should be. The CEO is cruel, and just does whatever her husband tells her to do. She lies and prefers to rule with terror rather than by actually encouraging growth or positivity. Has some pretty ridiculous ideas about "being a startup" and "running a tech company" while simply making money off display advertising and SEO scams. Crazy high turnover rate. No one to learn from. Ridiculously slow to innovate or do anything interesting. Sells you on some dumb vision and then wants you to make quizzes to game FB audiences into making click revenue.
