Smooth onboarding, friendly people, great environment

Pros

After working at some fairly large reputable companies, I have to say on-boarding at Leaf Group was the smoothest I've encountered. In addition, everyone I work with is very friendly and was very welcoming when I started. Overall a great work environment that is flexible, friendly and fun!

Cons

The only Con I can think of is also a Pro in some ways. As a programmer, the codebase I am working on is somewhat outdated due to it's age. Luckily, however, a big effort is being made to change that, which is a nice mix of both exciting and challenging! It's a good opportunity to make a big impact, especially as a new employee.

Leaf Group Response

We're so happy you joined and are helping to turn our con into a pro! We appreciate your hard work and support!

Great culture and perks, but not a growing business

Pros

- Everyone you work with will be very nice and really enjoy their work and their team - Lots of community activities and culture-building opportunities - Lots of perks, like bringing dogs into work and a fully-stocked kitchen

Cons

- Experience will vary a lot depending on the website you're working on, especially when it comes to feelings about work-life balance - Growing concerns about profitability are leading to greater pressure from management to deliver profit, which I've seen lead to an unintentional focus on quantity over quality
