Pluspunten

- CEO is incredibly bought into the future of the company. Super accessible and is active in meetings (company). - Transparency is super high! I've experienced a lot of transparency throughout the interview process and as I was being onboarded. - Mission driven and super focused on pushing forward consciously. It's clear that the company has been through it the last year and change. Those that remained post VSP are super motivated to build an amazing product for users and improve culture. - I personally feel there's a lot of diversity in MGMT and across the company. There are tons of women in leadership positions (i.e. VP of eng, VP of Marketing, VP of product, Head of recruiting and the list goes on). I look around and also see a lot of URPs represented. As a URP myself, it's super nice to see! - Smaller company, a lot of autonomy and space to be creative! - great health, wellness plans and other benefits.

Minpunten

- Internal slack was taken over for a bit by employees who aired they were offered performance plans. It was uncomfortable but the People team stepped in to reiterate appropriate escalation paths for some of the information aired publicly. Seems to have turned a corner for the positive.

Pluspunten

Previously a great community. Some good writers. Good UX.

Minpunten

Huge pay cut January 2025, with 'hidden' reason (which was a decision to cut money to most writers). Nomination team and publication owners completely in the dark about decision to cut pay to writers Writers in the dark constantly emailing and asking what's going on. It was a horrible situation. Currently a mass exodus to Substack, with writers fed up and angry. Curation Team members are in the dark about how hard it is to be a nominator, but there's NO conversation between Curation Team and Nomination Team. One Curation team member was in the Medium Slack channel and was very defensive of the Medium team. Curation Team gets paid for their work. Nomination Team and pub editors may not get paid, but will work anyway and put work forward to try to get it boosted. Pub editors are doing a lot of free work and resentful. Culture of 'secrecy' and hierarchy is unhealthy. Why aren't the contract employees doing boost nomination invited to participate at offsites? Always feel like Medium is looking for ways to take any money away from writers they can. Medium may have a vision, but if they do, they aren't sharing it. It feels like an exclusive club and an us vs. them culture. Writers on Medium are not valued now. Some writers using AI have been paid thousands of dollars and chosen for features in the Staff Picks. Pubs are currently losing strength, and pub owners are disheartened and miserable.
