Toxic, Mismanaged but fun for the vibe - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Refinery29

Great culture, extremely nice employees, diverse workplace

Not very cutting edge with their approach to tech

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.

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.
