Vantaggi

Buzzmedia has an awesome portfolio of properties which allows employees on the tech side of the company to touch multiple properties and never get bored with the content. Great location, not venue. Free bagels on Friday's and if you work past 7 on Wednesdays...... you get dinner.

Svantaggi

Offices are old and feel outdated. Having 40+ properties there are multiple business owners for each property making it difficult to get things done. Overall leadership and company transparency leaves much to be desired. Overall company culture is pretty poor, however there have been recent efforts to improve this. Management constantly reminds employees that "if your butt isn't in the seat, the CEO thinks you aren't working". Company is always hiring but can't seem to get the right / enough resources to stay a float

Vantaggi

It was a good learning experience. The editors provided a lot of feedback and there was a ton of opportunities to cover local entertainment events since this was based in LA.

Svantaggi

It was for college credit.

Vantaggi

-Lots of minor perks (free lunches, dinners, snacks, events, misc.) -Casual, laidback office environment (wear ALMOST whatever you want, informal dealings) -Some cool work for some cool (big) clients (since its music & entertainment and ALL digital there's a lot of space to do cool work here although interns don't really get in on that much.. we just tracked stuff a lot of times.)

Svantaggi

-TOTALLY disorganized (consistently cancelled or postponed meetings, miscommunication among staffers, lack of existing structure) -"Too cool" people (stuck-up hipsters and hollywood-types who seem like they would be really nice since the office environment is so casual, but everyone is pretty cliquey) - Overall negativity/low morale (most people who work here or have worked here is pretty unhappy or were pretty unhappy here.. despite trying REALLY hard to pretend otherwise during office hours) - High turnover/low retention rate - Minimal hiring and promotion from within - Underpaid, overworked staff (Unpaid interns where there are SO many interns and none of them get hired so it becomes pretty clear to you that they just want to use interns for the free labor. No time to train or work with interns much because everyone is so busy and in some cases, just doesn't care about mentoring or even talking to interns much at all.) - Company politics (at every level) - Observed some less than ethical/transparent business practices in my opinion
