      Great if you're desperate, Horrible if you're invested

      Pros

      - Met some genuinely good people - Expanded my network, got my foot in the door - Snacks - Good location - Solid vacation days - You can get a lot of free beauty services and products

      Cons

      - Genuinely terrible management system - Cost of health care is sky high, nearly double what I've paid elsewhere - No substantial promotion/pay opps (if you weren't one of the first 15 employees, you're out of luck) - Completely click/SEO driven. They don't care about issues, this is just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. - The other reviews don't lie, this is as white as white feminism gets - How is this CEO real? Literally asks people to swipe for him on his dating apps and makes insanely sexist/inappropriate comments to female staffers. And people treat it like it's nothing.

      Where feminism goes to die

      Pros

      I have met a few really awesome people here.

      Cons

      I was honestly so excited to work here and now I am frantically looking for other opportunities because everyone with talent is leaving. I honestly have never been this disappointed in a company before. Bustle pretends to be grounded in feminism but it is all just a sham to sell products to women. It is actually really sad. I also agree with other reviews that this office is not very diverse at all.

      Pros

      Stacks on stacks of La Croix.

      Cons

      Insular culture. Performative feminism. Homogeneous and heteronormative workforce. Unhappy people just writing through the motions. Bad human resources.
