Content farm with cult-like culture - Recensione dipendente - Technology Executive presso Trend Hunter

Low pay, a narcissistic culture, a very smoke and mirrors business model (you will be told it "completely changes based on opportunities!") and almost no meaningful training for the real working world. Aggressive gaslighting is everywhere. You need to turn off your BS detector to last in this place. You will be exposed to an incessant barrage of spin and manipulation and be able to swallow it (or pretend you do convincingly) daily. Any legitimate feedback or complaints you might leveled will be met with weird double speak, dismissed with some abused stats "99% of all our employees are 400% satisfied so you must be wrong!" or "our site has 999 trillion pageviews, it's one of the most succesful in the world!". This comes from the top where it's been perfected as an art form, but the rest of leadership has all internalized it as well by this point. It's hard to say if they have actually started to believe what they parrot now or have just figured out it's profitable to fall in line. 'Leadership' are mostly 30 years olds who have no real work experience outside of the bubble and would struggle to get more than entry level jobs in a real company. Their titles are kind of a joke but have managed to stick around and not challenge things too much so they eventually get promoted to comical levels "Chief Imaginary Officer" etc that make them unhirable elsewhere.
