Turning Over a New Leaf

Pros

- After two years of hard work transforming the media businesses, all of the properties are now growing. It has been a lot of hard work and a lot of talented people have contributed. - The marketplace businesses in the portfolio are also growing. They occupy a very attractive, large addressable market in a very cool category (art and design) - Over 2/3s of the employees at this company have joined within the last two years. There is an undercurrent of energy and excitement - people that are here want to rise to the challenge of building great businesses that are growing - Compensation is generous and includes equity for every employee, giving everyone a chance to benefit in the upside from the hard work they contribute - This s a culture where hard work if valued and people have integrity - Cool on-site video production studio - Dogs are allowed to come to work - there are at least a dozen dogs here on a daily basis - We are well fed!

Cons

- This is a public company so there are some processes that feel a little heavy for the size that we are - We are many small businesses in one corporate portfolio, so sometimes can feel like you don't know what the other business goals are

As you are a former employee, it's unfortunate that you aren't able to to speak to our present day company culture and team. We take pride in our current team's focus, passion and commitment to growth and progress. Most professionals would agree that a "back in the day" focus does little to move a company forward. We wish you the best of luck in your future.

Pros

- great group of fun, smart people - free snacks, thirsty thursday, free friday lunches - cool culture activities (which i need to advantage of)

Cons

- overworked - management doesn't listen to employee - was there for almost 2 years and never got a raise/promotion - was never really recognized for the work i did - HR was not present. that team itself went thorough a lot of change. old HR/recruiting team was the best, and most helpful.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Reading your "Cons", they focus on areas that Demand is investing in changing. Management training and tools have been reviewed/updated since our new management team joined. With that said, we promote growth within the company and are proud of our employees, some of who are now managers and those who have been with us for 10 years. We wish you the best in your next role.
