Blavity has one of the best work cultures within the media industry. I have always been recognized for my work performance. The management has always pushed me, including employees in the company grow beyond their roles in the company.
Cons
Given the fact that Blavity is a still considered as a startup, my hope is that they provide more in compensation as the company continues to grow.

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.
