Pros

The quality of people at Leaf Group stands out from any place I have ever worked. Everyone is kind, collaborative and respectful. With so many young, growing brands under one roof, hard work is rewarded with limitless opportunity to grow within the organization.

Cons

If you aren't comfortable wearing many hats and constantly expanding / shifting your scope of work, you might find it a challenging place to work but, in my opinion, that's the very thing that makes it a great place to grow professionally.

Leaf Group Response

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your experience with us. We definitely agree that growth is limitless and understanding the agility of the company is important. We appreciate your impact!

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people to work with, compassionate and flexible ethos, fair compensation, thoughtful and attentive management, some great work/life balance perks

Cons

It can be tough to get new roles approved when your team is maxed out. Management has been shaky in the past, pushing for goals that ultimately did not serve the businesses or its people, but this has changed in the last few years.

Leaf Group Response

We appreciate you recognizing the hard work we've all done to make the company better. Together we make a difference and we thank you for your contribution to that goal.
