Pros

Leaf Group offers really great benefits and amenities. Unlimited vacation, catered food on fridays, and tons of food trucks nearby. The culture here is second to none and the employees are all great people.

Cons

Technology doesn't work much of the time. In my years at Demand/Leaf the constant joke is that we always have technical difficulties. From Wifi being slow to conference room issues (Vidyo, projecting/appleTV, HDMI)

Leaf Group Response

Thank you for your considerate assessment of our company and our team. We are constantly trying to improve and technology is part of that journey. We agree wholeheartedly that our culture is second to none and that our employees are great people!

Pros

- Everyone is genuinely kind and interested in their work - The work is demanding and challenging, but without being overwhelming - Great benefits! Plus all kinds of fun perks like occasionally free events put on by the People Team. - Lots of communication from the upper management/exec team. For my particular position, I work closely with my boss, so it's great for getting to know your higher-ups - Great facilities

Cons

- Mid-range salaries. Wouldn't be that much of an issue, but Santa Monica is expensive! - Easy to get isolated since it is kind of cubical layout (lower dividers). But if you make an effort, you can get to know people! - Very easy to get sucked into over-working...! But as long as you keep a positive work-life balance, you can set strict hours and enjoy your time. - A company in the midst of growth, so it's hard to tell how financially successful it will be long-term.

Leaf Group Response

We so appreciate your review! We love that you see everyone being genuinely kind and interested in their work. With those kinds of assessments, we are able to grow the business and as people. We're excited about our feature and we appreciate having employees like you.
