Pros

I feel compelled to write a review here because of the abundance of 5 star glowing reviews, which to me, are suspect. Magnet Media is a cult of personality around the CEO, who talks a good game and micro-manages every element of the company and its people. Diversity? One group sees some representation here but others are glaringly absent (older employees?) They talk a good game but need to take more action. It's a pressure cooker and all over the place. Always in a reactive mode, I worked long days and nearly every weekend. The worst part was the political aspect of it, and having someone lie to me and about me and stab me in the back. The best part of this place is that the co-workers are the best, as long as they are there.

Cons

Lying and not paying freelancers, high turnover.

Pros

Magnet has a great work culture & very supportive colleagues who want to help you succeed. Their internship program included a fully intern-driven company project where you collaborate with the other interns across all of the different teams. You’ll learn a lot about the company and industry.

Cons

None during my time there

Pros

I have been working as a freelance creative professional for many years now and the team at Magnet has been a joy to work with. They are communicative and open to collaboration which is a must for me. The projects have been interesting and the organization coming from the producers is top notch. I very much enjoy working with the Magnet team.

Cons

The only cons I've encountered so far have been some challenging deadlines, but thats more from the client side then the production side. I've definitely had to work a few late nights and weekends to meet the timelines. While it's not my favorite thing to do, it's also something that tends to go with the territory in freelancing. Thankfully it seems to be the exception rather than the norm.
