Vantaggi

Great pay, little effort required.

Svantaggi

The company has gotten used to a very slow moving software engineering department, and people think that's the way it should be done. However, it isn't. People slack, and it's ok, because managers slack, too. Most engineers have insufficient experience, and get promoted only so they don't seek jobs elsewhere, or because they have stuck around long enough. Few people would be able to find a job with the same title and role in a real tech company. Sticking around longer is definitely harming to one's career.

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.
