Pros

Rapidly growing organization with an interesting business model. Will probably ride the crest of the wave and eventually break it up.

Cons

Poor execution of projects, weak supervision, poor coordinating efforts and way too much dissension for a company of this size. Hiring way too quickly and loosing focus on objectives as well as the human element. Hours are long and personnel is under appreciated.

Pros

Refinery29 was training day, every day. The pace and creative expectations forced you to sharpen fast. I cut my teeth here over four years and came out a fundamentally better strategist. The work was culturally plugged in, the people were sharp, and you were trusted with real responsibility early. If you wanted to learn how brand, content, and audience intersect at speed, there was no better place.

Cons

The intensity that makes it a great training ground also means the environment runs hot. Not everyone thrives in that — and depending on your team, support structures varied. The company went through a lot of change during my time, which created some instability.
