Glassdoor Company

I decided to select Refinery 29, a multinational digital media entertainment website owned by VICE Media. Here their content sits at the intersection of style and substance, helping the audience, especially women, live a more informed and inspired life. The company claims to focus on the core values of individuality, inclusivity, and impact. Refinery 29 creates content that speaks to 360 degrees of a woman’s life, including editorial articles, original video programming, sharable social content across a variety of platforms, and live experiences. Based on the reviews on glassdoor, the overall rating of their working environment is three out of five stars. Here are some examples of positive feedback that I saw, “teamwork is great,” and “lots of freedom.” However, there is a lot of critiques, such as “loads of stress” and “long hours and heavy workloads.” It seems like employees who work in this social media company are always in high demand and have trouble balancing their personal and work life. It feels like Refinery 29 is a very fast-paced environment since people have to create content constantly.
