Pros

* Enthusiasm for projects and initiatives * Good place to work hard * Public stock options * Still some fun to be had

Cons

There's management bias towards the "old guard", people who have been together since the Myspace and NetZero days. It's hard to break into that pool, and ideas that come from within that circle are much more likely to be respected than ideas from outside that circle. Working long days is expected. You can always hire someone to have a life for you, right?

Pros

It's a great place to work due to the somewhat diverse and relaxed culture. The Santa Monica office is sandwiched between the 3rd Street Promenade and the beach.

Cons

Meetings can be unproductive. The growth of the company has changed its culture from what it was a year or more ago in a negative way.

Pros

Benefits are very good and company culture is fairly open minded

Cons

Leadership appears without direction, often promotes individuals with no merit or experience to lead positions. Appears some GM's are hired as favors or to avoid some sort of penalty from the Board or stock holders.

We definitely agree that our benefits are very good and we are an open minded company. As you are a former employee, we're happy to hear that you remember those attributes. Our hiring process, though, is thorough and designed to be equitable. Hiring the best fit for our roles is an important pillar at Leaf Group. We are always happy to answer any questions surrounding hiring - especially leadership.
