The art market is a notoriously difficult market especially in recent years

They actually abide by the flexible time-off

I think everyone should read this before interviewing. First, Artsy just did a layoff 100% because of poor business choices and forcing staff to follow NDA protocols. The CEO told us for months that he wasn't losing sleep over the state of the company, however following a shady in office day lay offs were announced. This company does not value transparency in all aspects. Artsy is not in a growing phase at this time, and the IC's are paying for it. Recruiters will disguise the fact that your job scope will change, added work and responsibilities - as a scrappy work environment and the opportunity to get experience in other areas. In reality Artsy is all over the place and cannot afford the staff. Selfish leadership weird company culture: you're forced to go into office 2-3 days a week another poor disguise to make sense of the rent cost because the office culture is quiet and awkward. Imagine sitting across from your boss and director only for them to dread having to speak to you. In my department before the layoff, the director and associate director played ping pong, promoting themselves twice in one year and eating away the entire budget during review cycles. I firmly believe that if your team isn't ready to be promoted, then why do the leaders? You take a risk wasting your time here. It's a great pit stop if you have to, take the role but have a strong exit plan. The folks here have been lying in bed with each other for 8+years. No room for newbies
