      Toxic, Unsupportive Culture, Unrealistic Expectations, High Turnover

      Anonymous

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A handful of nice people (who end up leaving).

      Cons

      CEO sets the tone for a toxic culture that breeds, enables, and empowers inexperienced managers with irrationally inflated egos. People often seem to be walking on eggshells - there is an overarching sense of competitiveness and a lack of trust among the employees that creates an 'out for themselves' mentality (a la 'Survivor'). The brands in the portfolio lack a compelling, cohesive story, and are functionally disjointed across different platforms which makes logistics challenging. Management has unrealistic expectations. Operationally over-processed and their tech stack is extremely inefficient consisting of about 10-15 different types of software that could be consolidated if anyone were open to learning about other alternatives. Lots of "We have always done it this way. New ideas are not welcome" Finally, while they claim to be a compassionate company with a strong commitment to DEI and go through the motions at the high level, it seems their motivation is optics, because they don't seem to sincerely practice what they preach on a more individual level.

      Thank you for sharing your candid feedback about your experience at Leaf Group. We strive to support every employee in having a positive experience at work and are disappointed to hear that this was your experience. There are a lot of points to your feedback, so we wanted to follow up on just a few. Our engagement surveys, which are confidential and run yearly, give us constructive feedback from our employees. While we aren’t able to know what part of the business you worked in, we can say that scores in culture, leadership, and communication are fairly good for a midsize company. After each survey, we do articulate - along with leaders of each business who are also responsible for articulating their goals post-survey - what areas we are looking to improve in. We are always looking for ways to upskill manager training, solicit innovation, and improve our DEI efforts - which will not be a quick journey.

      Pros

      If you don't care about your career and you are OK with being average then Demand is the place for you. Enjoy!

      Cons

      Run by baby boomers who lack innovation. And you are not a start up. Stop using that word and get a dictionary.
