Bustle reviews

-Sometimes the editors don't do a good job at editing. Sometimes I'll read my articles after they're published and see typos or other editorial mistakes that the editor either didn't correct or, in some cases, added themselves. -Ensuring the content is SEO-friendly is often prioritized over good writing. -Remote writers have the option of going into the Bustle offices, but upper management doesn’t go out of its way to invite us to headquarters or to Bustle events.

Team leadership went out of their way to intentionally put people down and make them feel like they weren't good at their job. It was very much a "Mean Girl" culture with a bunch of fake niceness and if you're not in the "clique", you were deprioritized and not considered as favorably. It honestly feels like high school at times. Favoritism is rampant, ignoring accomplishments while being constantly called out for small errors - certain peoplewere called out more than other teammates as they confirmed they didn't get these criticisms. They also never took feelings into consideration; it was all talk. The leadership likes to share their "kudos" for people on a weekly basis, but only the people in the clique and new hires ever got praise while others are constantly ignored. Leaders would praise people on other teams instead of their own. Also, if you aren't their cattle, you are attacking their process. If you have a criticism, stay quiet, or they will sour your reputation to others behind your back. Don't take anything positive seriously from them because they will backstab you in a heartbeat.
