Great Culture and Amazing Environment for Growth

Anonymous employee

Pros

The Leaf Group culture is about cultivating growth and giving opportunities to those who are willing to work for it. You get to work with people that like what they are doing and are passionate about their profession. They have catered lunch on Fridays and Happy Hour type event called Thirsty Thursdays. That should tell you what environment you should expect. They provide free Yoga and give you countless perks which gives you the impression that they care about your well being. Again a really great place to work.

Cons

No Cons. I've been working here for a year and a half and I don't see one. Maybe it's because of my direct manager and the GM but they have been doing a great job.

Leaf Group Response

There is a lot of effort placed by management/people team for personal development and growth, i.e., very willing in allowing you to explore your interests within the company. You get the sense that management really cares about you. Great benefits! Just to name a few: RSUs, ESPP, 401K matching, product discounts, discretionary PTO

Cons

None. Leaf is a great place to work.
