Pros

-Great place to start your career if you're entry level or an intern that needs to build your resume, honest to God. If you're desperate and looking to salvage your career, then by all means work here. -Casual wear That's really it.

Cons

-No one is passionate about what they're doing -Extremely lacking in company culture, no values whatsoever, no guiding principle, nothing. This place is plainer than vanilla ice cream -Boring, and you'll probably be working in a boring industry -Extremely crowded I left after 3 months because I was so bored. Think about this critically. Internet Brands is NOT a tech company. They might market themselves as that (like wearing casual clothes) in order to attract talent, but it's a conglomerate of companies. They're essentially a private equity firm owned by another private equity firm (I'll admit, being owned by KKR means it's good - FOR THE INVESTORS, not you). The sole purpose of this company is to acquire other companies within their 4 main industries and strengthen their verticals. They're going to find whatever company is willing to sell, find it's inefficiencies, and then gut it and make it more profitable. They're trying to increase their profit margin by any means, and that's why the benefits and pay are lacking. To put it into perspective, they're the biggest fish in the smallest pond. Look at the industries they're in and the types of companies they acquire. They're so niche, that the play is to acquire as many niche markets so that they eventually own most of the market. If you're looking for a job, okay, then do it. If you're looking to grow and challenge yourself, and make the most of your time working, then there are way better opportunities out there.

Pros

At FindLaw, a division of Internet Brands, they do a good job of hiring people and the lower-level managers treat you with respect. When you get laid off, they do offer a severance package.

Cons

Internet Brands is a company that is in business only to make money. They pay lip service to developing talent and promoting from within, but do not actually sponsor any programs within the company to achieve this. Since purchasing FindLaw in December 2024, we have conducted several rounds of layoffs, with U.S. writers being let go and replaced by writers in Mexico and Manila who are trained in AI and paid less. The fact that their maximum 401K match is .75% (not a misprint, less than 1%) tells you everything you need to know about how little they value their employees.
