Pros

I started working with Blavity as a summer intern in 2015. I went on to join the team full time as a marketing manager a year later. Two years later I was promoted to GM. Working at Blavity has been an amazing opportunity for career development and mentorship. The great thing about working at Blavity is you get the chance to work across many different functions and departments within the company. Management is very committed to seeing you succeed and every project is a huge learning opportunity. I don't think I would have been able to grow my career at this pace anywhere else. The company is making a huge impact on culture and it's beyond inspiring to be apart of building that.

Cons

Work is fast pace and can be very demanding

Pros

The health insurance wasn't a nightmare to navigate.

Cons

Blavity's micromanagement was absolutely suffocating. I literally could not send a client email without someone questioning my word choice or demanding to know why I included that person on the thread. Every single decision got routed through some approval chain and nobody would even explain why they said no, just "not approved" and silence. I started to feel like my manager was waiting for me to fail, like the hiring process was a mistake and now I had to prove myself every single day all over again. By my third month there I completely stopped suggesting anything because every idea got was the kind of slow trust erosion where you don't notice it happening until you realize you've already mentally checked out.
