Cons
-At times a lack of communication between departments -The office itself could use a little redesign, a bit outdated and lacking little perks like fruit, snacks or better coffee on-hand -Not big on flexible work schedule or working from home - Could use a bit of a boost in morale, there could be more opportunities to get to know the team better, especially since we are growing so fast

No cons, I enjoyed my time at this company
Pros
The pay is decent if you're hard working.
Cons
There are a lot of serious problems with this company. The most serious I think is a deeply rooted toxic leadership culture which severely limits the company's ability to innovate and improve. There's a knowledge gap in the leadership team on how to effectively lead (quite ironically) which yield abusive workplace environments; bullying, inappropriate and misogynistic behavior, and intimidation were all common in the office. The magazine itself is NOT authentic journalism, nor is the content of the articles the focus; it's all about the advertisement. The interviews are typically scripted (the same script for every interview, regardless of the interviewee), and are a ploy to get a list of suppliers who might be willing to pay for advertising (and if they don't, the interviews won't be published, unless the interviewee pays for it). It's a clever business model, but completely disingenuous and intentionally not transparent. The articles are therefore vapid, homogenous and have fewer average readers than this review will likely receive. That's probably why the company turnover rate is as high as it is. There are some great people who work there, but most end up leaving after they realize how the company operates.
