Vantaggi

- Some great people - Forward thinking

Svantaggi

- Overall, it's a high school popularity contest - The most incompetent managers are hired. My manager was probably hired because she knew "the lingo" and the founders thought she was legit. - The majority of the managers lead by intimidation - Some of the people that are promoted into management positions are unqualified and inexperienced. I'm sure if these new managers were to leave R29, they'd be knocked back into their jr level roles. - Benefits are "meh" and not much time off. - Pay is not equal across the board - some people were breaking their backs making peanuts while others are grossly overpaid to just "hang out and talk the talk".

Vantaggi

Refinery29 was training day, every day. The pace and creative expectations forced you to sharpen fast. I cut my teeth here over four years and came out a fundamentally better strategist. The work was culturally plugged in, the people were sharp, and you were trusted with real responsibility early. If you wanted to learn how brand, content, and audience intersect at speed, there was no better place.

Svantaggi

The intensity that makes it a great training ground also means the environment runs hot. Not everyone thrives in that — and depending on your team, support structures varied. The company went through a lot of change during my time, which created some instability.
