A good experience

Pros

Loved the flexibility of working from home. I really liked my editor, and I got to write about a wide range of topics. The supervisors seemed receptive to feedback, and though the pay wasn't HIGH, I did feel like the management was supportive of its writers.

Cons

There really didn't seem to be any way to move up in the organization (without living in New York, at least). Working from home can be fairly isolating (although that has to do more with working remotely than with Bustle itself).

Pros

I feel like the management team really cares about its employees and actively tries to make a difference. Having worked at other media companies before this, that's rare. It's been an overall enjoyable place to work and even though there are issues, I can see change happening in areas we need it (better work life balance, diversity, listening to employees, better training.)

Cons

We need better training for managers. There are negative aspects of startup culture that have stuck around.
