The culture here was extremely oppressive. When staff members would try to express ideas or opinions, they are often shot down by the management. There is a lack of cooperation, as staff were frequently told to 'stay in their lane' by the CEO, making it difficult to have cross-departmental conversations.
The company's focus is largely on pageviews and social media sharing, however it is not monetized effectively, despite many suggestions by the marketing and sales teams to change the approach.
Content teams are not given enough leeway to create original work, often being told to repackage successful pieces of content produced by other companies and platforms.
This company's structure is currently only interns and one or two staff members, after all paid employees were laid off this past June.
