Pros

Solid place to work years ago. Only perk now is that it’s predominately WFH environment.

Cons

Freelancers waiting to be paid long past terms set. Leadership is a boys club and a failing one at that. Seem to have some good people advising leadership, what is being done with that is to be determined. Objectives always changing. Digital Trends is a shell of what this company was.

Pros

Learned so much about video editing, I felt welcomed and was always assisted when needed, would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in editing or media to check them out!

Cons

Didn't get much of an understanding of the other aspects of the company such as its other brands

Pros

-Flexible PTO -Work from home

Cons

Digital Trends Media Group (or Digital Trends, if you prefer) is a cesspool of terrible leadership, fragile egos, poor revenue, and no direction. The CEO shifts direction every few months because he is just a terrible businessperson. Sales can’t make the company any money. All the websites DTMG owns rely on former glory, but traffic on all of them is down at LEAST 80% in the past few years. You will have no tools you need, freelancers won’t get paid for the work they do, you will be lied to repeatedly, and there’s a ton of turnover at this small, failing publisher. DTMG is a complete joke. Finding a job is hard, but there’s no such thing as a career at DTMG. If you’re offered a job here that you have to take because you have bills to pay, get out as fast as you can. DTMG leadership has tons of skeletons in the closet. They’ll tell you that’s not who they are. They’re lying. This company and its people are toxic and petty. Every positive review this company has is solicited; none of them are genuine. I know because the former COO asked everyone to give a positive review here to boost the company's ranking. AVOID DTMG.
