Thank you so much for taking the time to review us and your time here. We consistently review our compensation and we do remain competitive in most areas. We will definitely work harder in the current environment to ensure that communication is clearer and do hope you consider providing specific and direct feedback to your manager or HR rep for more clarity.

Very little direction but great at layoffs

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

The people all were great to work with and they put a lot of effort into their social events.

Cons

Leadership and management seem to be there for their “contributions” but very little is known about what the company does and wants to do. The company seems to keep the bad ones around and the good ones get laid off and then it’s the same rinse and repeat.

Leaf Group Response

As it sounds like you were a former employee, we are happy that you found our people great to work with. That hasn't changed. As for our mission and what we do, we ensure through weekly email newsletters what we along with the brands are doing. We also have had no layoffs during these last challenging months.

Culture(!!), flexible schedule & ability to work remote, lots of support from cross-functional business partners, feels like the company truly cares about their employees, etc. etc.

Cons

I guess the only thing right now is that I haven't had a chance to meet my team (in person) yet

Leaf Group Response

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us! We have worked very hard in this challenging environment to ensure our people feel supported and have the resources to grow. We hope you get to meet your team soon as have made sure to put the health and safety of our people as a primary focus.
