Pros

It started well, with writers and editors, on the creative side, collaborating on creating good content for clients. The atmosphere was collegial and invigorating

Cons

Management has changed dramatically over the years, with each new manager a notch or two below the one replaced. , The company charges its clients thousands of dollars and now pays its writers less than $10 per piece of content written, which started in the mid-$20 range per piece a few years back and then started getting cut. The writers who create these pieces now earn about a third of what they earned when Reputation was a struggling startup, and ditto the editors. Promised bonuses are vapor, and where writers and editors once were encouraged to share ideas and commentary on the firm's online forum, such interaction is prohibited now. Rocking the boat is punished. Most of the good editors and writers have long since left Reputation for employers with integrity, and the quality of work performed for clients clearly suffers, although the degradation of quality isn't reflected in the rates the company charges its clients because new clients aren't aware of how poorly they're being served relative to what was available to them a few years ago.

Thanks for the review! Cross-functional collaboration across time zones is a real challenge these days. We are hoping that the flexibility of our remote & hybrid environment and clarification of ‘core working hours’ will help support even greater collaboration across teams. If you need any help navigating through this, please work with your Manager or HR Business Partner.

Pros

*Benefits are a bit pricey, but you'll be well covered *Great coworkers *Lunch for in office workers.

Cons

*Constant layoffs. Even after leaving I'm still seeing a lot of former colleagues being let go. Great talent has been let go to cut costs. *Pay is much lower than industry average and it seems there is no budget to increase pay. *Platform has bugs and issues that were never resolved by engineering, leaving teams to develop work arounds and frustrating clients. *For bugs that are addressed, solutions take weeks to months to get fixed frustrating clients and resulting in churn. *Lack of direction and leadership. All teams are on their own path without clear direction. *No 401k match.
