When I joined the company many employees had been with it since its beginning but I watched most of those people leave as they became unhappy with compensation and lack of upward mobility. What used to be an innovative company with a narrow focus has expanded into one that tries to appeal to a mass market and chases after any advertiser despite conflicts with the mission of its core brand. Management seems unwilling to adapt to trends in content creation and digital marking and instead focuses on mostly outdated methods of traffic generation. While some members of senior management are effective, they seem to be motivated mostly by the goal of not angering the ceo who is known for uncomfortably loud, inappropriate, and often cruel outbursts that employees have to awkwardly pretend not to hear. As with any job everyone is trying to keep their direct supervisor happy and keep their own position safe, but often that can hurt those at the lowest rung of the corporate ladder and make for an uncomfortable work culture
