Pros

You will always feel supported here by your peers. Everyone here is aligned with the same goals, which makes you feel like you are apart of something big! From sending our audience updated info during social unrest, to thought provoking editorials, I know that we are making a true impact. Everyone here understands me and I feel like the work I do is appreciated.

Cons

Internal processes can be cleaned up. I have worked for major companies and I believe that to get things done there is a long drawn out process. I do believe this can be fixed and its due to the company being a start up.

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.
