Pros

Leaf Group has a really nice work environment. It is usually quiet enough to concentrate, there are free snacks and coffee everywhere, and people are friendly there. I was thoroughly trained on my job and my direct manager was great. I never felt too overwhelmed, and there is a lot of respect amongst people. You're never talked down to there. One of the best aspects of LG is the unlimited vacation time. They also offer good benefits like healthcare, matching 401(k), free yoga classes, discounted gym passes, free lunch Fridays, different workspaces within the office, and more. It's a good place to start a career, and you may even be able to make up your own unique position there down the line. If you have a job offer from them, definitely take it. It's much better than most 9-5s out there.

Cons

There is not a lot of collaboration between teams. Layoffs came unexpectedly. There is no overarching motive like, "We're making the world a better place." It's simply corporate. You're there to make money for the company. Some upper team managers never introduce themselves, which feels strange when you're working for them. The pay is on the low side as well.
