Pros

The health insurance wasn't a nightmare to navigate.

Cons

Blavity's micromanagement was absolutely suffocating. I literally could not send a client email without someone questioning my word choice or demanding to know why I included that person on the thread. Every single decision got routed through some approval chain and nobody would even explain why they said no, just "not approved" and silence. I started to feel like my manager was waiting for me to fail, like the hiring process was a mistake and now I had to prove myself every single day all over again. By my third month there I completely stopped suggesting anything because every idea got was the kind of slow trust erosion where you don't notice it happening until you realize you've already mentally checked out.

Pros

The mission and purpose of AfroTech is the only thing that could possibly keep somebody here.

Cons

High turnover of employees. Poor Senior Leadership which is reflected in the retention of employees. The political landscape has also made this very difficult company to work at as it has greatly impacted the revenue Blavity once relied on from the public sector.

Pros

Remote work flexibility. Great opportunity to build relationships across different industries and gain exposure to a variety of brands, partners, and business challenges.

Cons

The organization often felt more focused on activity than impact. Success metrics weren’t always tied to meaningful outcomes, making it difficult to measure whether the work was truly solving customer or partner challenges. There was a recurring sense of redundancy, with teams operating on a hamster wheel of activity rather than driving transformational results. The culture could benefit from a longer-term, value-driven approach that prioritizes sustainable impact over short-term transactions.
