Pros

Never before have I been in a professional workspace where I am accepted and respected in my skin. As a black woman in business often times there is a lot of scrutiny around things like your hair or your wardrobe, and that is not the case at Blavity. Finally after 10 years I feel like I can let my hair down and be authentically who I am. I am also enjoying the support of my team members and the type of work that I am doing within my community and for an underrepresented culture.

Cons

I don't know if there are any negative feelings within my place of employment other than the typical, I wish we had more people line that seems to always apply no matter the employer or team!

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.
