      Thrilling in the early years but the magic is gone

      Pros

      Great location; very smart people from the original crew; not a lot of tech co's in Santa Monica to choose from; still potential for big things

      Cons

      product and direction of the company are in flux and concern that the best years of the company are behind them; constant attrition of top talent

      Notorious and despised for many reasons

      Pros

      Office near beach, 3rd Street Promenade, free snacks, laid back to an extreme

      Cons

      Laid back to the point where people on the content team such as editors and content managers are instant messaging for half the day with friends and giggling. There's no shame. Many have no formal training or eduation in journalism. No wonder the company has such a horrible reputation. Wired, LA Weekly, and Business Insider have all written about the shoddy work of this content farm. If you're an editor, manager or writer working for the content team, working for Demand Media is only going to harm your resume. Real journalists look down upon such unprofessional work. They don't fact-check or verify anything. I was also verbally and sexually harassed, and management failed to address any of my complaints. That is simply wrong, callous, and shameful. I resigned because of the lack of morals and values here. Pay is also ridiculously low. You'll earn more at almost any other desk job. I am confident that this was the worst job I've ever had.
