Everyday Health Group reviews

terrible work environment, terrible hours, terrible management

Middle management is the biggest con at Everyday Health. With micro-managing and excessive meetings, they waste time and create bottlenecks for productivity with the long-winded approval process. By constantly shutting down the ideas of their direct reports, they block their creativity and encourage autonomy. Senior/upper management seemed unaware of these issues. Most start on an excellent note, but after awhile realize that job advancement is non-existent, so they find a better position elsewhere. There's about 500 people who work in the NY office, which is too cramped! Everyone is literally on top of each other getting coffee in the morning, going to the bathroom. The open layout was often too loud to make phone calls or concentrate. No space in the common rooms to eat a 15-minute lunch, and there's always some work meeting in the kitchen. The overcrowding is constantly a problem, despite the regular layoffs that usually come after over-hiring.
