Pros

401k match, summer Fridays, good health benefit

Cons

Pay is very low, lack of transparency, leadership, mentorship, and care for employees. The most savage treatment of employees I have ever seen. They use at-will as a rule, not a guideline. Management does not allow employees to learn & grow. You are judged for every small action and your personal life choices are used against you.Massive disorganization across the globe.

Pros

Great snacks, a select few employees are really amazing and I'm lucky to work with them everyday. Please note, most of the good reviews on here are about other offices, not NYC.

Cons

Lack of direction, high turnover rate, toxic HR. Product is sub-par with NYC standards. Playbuzz has a history of hiring and laying off people within a few months (or even days at HQ). They've let about 40% of us go over the last 6 months. It's common practice to lie to potential employees during the hiring process about the state of the business before bringing them on-board. Due to chaotic lay-offs and firings, we have residual fear of being let go nearly everyday. Claims to have amazing benefits and cover health insurance, but copays are $30 and $50. Israeli management working in the NYC office doesn't really talk to us Americans. It's weird as we all sit in the same room (it's not that big of a room).
