Kontras
It's unfortunate the people who run this company do, because there could have been a much higher level of success if there were smarter, kinder, more open, strategic, outgoing leaders at the company. Someone else had said it in their review - this was a company that represented women's lifestyle, but could not be further from the truth in terms of their employee support. I witnessed between 5 - 10 people laid off in my time with the company, that were either pregnant, on maternity leave or had recently returned from maternity leave. Of course it was every time they were making "changes to the company," but it was obvious they always did away with those who were in the middle of starting families! When layoffs have happened, senior Management kept their office doors shut and did not address people who were laid off after years of dedication to the company. The senior staff is 95% men, and awkward ones at that. They have NO people skills and do not know how to manage. They think happy hours are the only way to bond with their teams. They have 5 core principles of how to conduct yourself as an employee and teammate and they abide by NONE. Management is not transparent and there was constantly an "on-edge" feeling, and lots of gossiping, because you could tell when changes would be sprung on you, but of course never discussed. While they have sold off their editorial assets, all traffic had been manufactured using a click bait strategy. Their current programmatic strategy seems solid, but given their past, not sure how legitimate it is.
