a - Manager Revive Media Employee Review

Overall culture encourages curiosity, hard work, and flexibility. While fully remote, teamwork is highly valued and collaboration is strong through various real-time and async communication tools. There is a strong sense of encouraging both personal and professional connection as well as work-life balance. Company growth provides opportunities for career development and individual contributions outside of job scope. Recent improvements to benefits offering were done proactively and are appreciated. Leadership is highly engaged and accessible.

Sometimes the remote environment and team structures can cause information silos. Because of the small size of the org, there isn't always an obvious career path, especially for junior employees. Wish we had 401k match, but other benefits offered are high quality.

Fully remote and relatively autonomous

The company is highly top-heavy, with decision-making concentrated in the hands of just two individuals—particularly the CEO, whose influence is absolute. While strong leadership can be a positive, the issue here is the complete lack of consistency in direction. The CEO frequently holds town halls and "Chats with the Boss," which often feel more like unstructured monologues rather than productive discussions. This lack of clear direction is compounded by an absence of data-driven evaluation. Employee performance is assessed almost entirely based on revenue, with no concrete role-specific expectations. Instead, success or failure is determined by vague, anecdotal opinions rather than objective metrics. Perhaps most concerning, however, are the blatant ethical issues within the workplace. Company offsites often devolve into excessive partying, fueled by drinking and drug use, creating an unprofessional and inappropriate environment. For those seeking career development, this is not the place to grow—there are no structured benchmarks or clear pathways for advancement. If you're looking for a forward-thinking company with a solid growth plan, you’ll be disappointed, as the only real "progress" comes in the form of superficial accolades. And if you’re hoping to build camaraderie with peers, be aware that layoffs frequently occur due to poor leadership decisions at the top, leaving employees to pay the price for C-suite miscalculations.
