Pros

Fully Remote, Wellness Perks, Competitive Salary

Cons

The most unprofessional leadership I have experienced in my entire career. Absolutely no direction given on projects, priorities or expectations of employees. Siloed communications between teams and lack of transparency when leaders mysteriously leave the company including a Co-Founder, Head of HR and Head of Engineering. Entire teams let go with no plan of action on how to back-fill their responsibilities. A company that once stated a commitment to diversity but has pretty much gutted all related programs. They appear to be a well-meaning company (on paper) but still have a lot of growing to do.

Pros

Mediavine invests in its employees and provides plenty of opportunities to develop new skills. Leadership has been making a noticeable effort to support employees while encouraging open communication and feedback. Colleagues are always willing to share knowledge, and there's a genuine sense of wanting to see clients as well as the company succeed.

Cons

Like any company, there can be challenges and shifts in priorities as the industry changes. This has impacted some colleagues, which is never easy, but the company has handled it with respect and care.

Pros

They had a very strong LGBTQ+ hiring initiative, despite the national political effort to dissuade employers away from doing that.

Cons

I have never experienced working directly with an executive leadership team who strived on a daily basis so intentionally to burn the company to the ground as quickly as possible. The laughably bad business decisions which were made, the very public and juvenile infighting between executives, and the pathetic excuses which followed when mass layoffs "had to happen" is just... sad. It is not surprising, but it's just sad. MV could have been such a great place to work. But, instead "toxic" would have been a real blessing. Working there was like surviving "Squid Game"... every single day. That is no way to live.
