Pros

Vox has established such great brands and products over the years. People genuinely love the content and there is no better feeling than being able to contribute to a company that you believe in. - unlimited vacation: in theory it’s great! However, the company has been declining the allowance based on quarter and revenue as the company stands. Extremely unfair, especially when departments that are outside of sales are effected. - kitchen snacks: nice variety but gets old fast.

Cons

All of leadership and high level executives are foolish and far from knowledgeable. They basically have “kids” running the show and contributing to the consistent decline of Vox Media. Not only do these individuals make poor decisions with no evident support as to why, but they can’t even properly communicate the company’s goals and efforts to employees in a professional or clear way. Constant restructure leading to massive lay-offs of well equipped people. Extremely poor team cohesion. There is a horrible dark cloud of negativity surrounding the entire office - no one is happy, no one is encouraged, no one wants to be there. It truly is so sad what Vox Media has come to. Absolutely no room for advancement. Favoritism and politics are what determine your fate at Vox Media. Sadly the executives play dirty and will do whatever they can do win- at the expense of individuals who have been loyal and sacrificed a lot for the company. Lies, deceit, you name it, they do it. Do yourself a favor and avoid working here. It isn’t at all what it used to be, there are little to no benefits for a career here.

Pros

Was a great place to be early on. There were some good times among colleagues, and the work felt rewarding at some points. Made some good friends during my time there.

Cons

Looking back, morale started to decline in 2018, with recurring layoffs and constant uncertainty becoming the norm. Employees are expected to maintain a high workload with little opportunity for advancement. Promotions and hiring often seem driven by politics and favoritism rather than performance. It's disappointing to see the direction of a company I once believed in.
