Vevo reviews

Unfortunately, the pros could not outweigh the cons and the handful of nice people can't undo the affects of those who were negative, entitled, uncommunicative, and rude. The person who described it as a "country club" was right on point! There was a heavy sense of entitlement, especially from the account execs. They will talk to people below them in whatever way they want (especially females) and no one does anything about it. There is a huge lack of diversity, which is very apparent in the senior leadership - mostly all white men. People communicate passive aggressively over slack and email rather than walking over to your cubicle to clarify or confirm things. Work/life balance feels non-existent. You will be expected to work non-stop, early mornings, weeknights, weekends, and vacation - because team leads and managers do that, so they expect you to as well. Many people on the sales team who were relatively new, were burned out by their second month. If you are someone who is looking for a warm, fun, healthy, well-balanced place to work - VEVO is not the place for you.

You're expected to be on-call, no work-life balance (but I guess they balance it out with flexibility meaning you are expected to answer emails/work after hours from home), no career pathing. This is not a place for growth, this is more of place of maintenance, but management will constantly tell you that there is a possibility for growth in the future, but the reality is someone above you has to quit in order for you to move up and most leadership folks aren't going anywhere. There is also not enough people to do the work, so everyone is overworked and frustrated because they are working hard but know that there is no growth. If you are a minority, there will only be a few of you. They try to promote diversity and inclusion, but somehow they just keep hiring the same people over and over -- nepotism is RAMPANT! (as mentioned in the review title). And, IF you have an interest in working for a music company and think you can do one thing and hopefully cross over to another department - you can forget it! I've only seen this happen TWICE!
