Pros

Impact Theory is like no other company you will work for in that it will change you in profound ways both professionally and personally. This is a true startup environment: fast-paced, exciting, and entrepreneurial at its core. Not only will you have the incredible opportunity to be on the bleeding edge of new media, social, and storytelling, but you will be inspired day in and day out by the guests, the ideas, and the fans. Impact Theory is ahead of the curve of what it means to be a mission-based, community-based company. But most importantly, the work you do at Impact Theory transforms people's lives and has a resoundingly positive impact on the world. You know that because every day people reach out and share their stories about how the content and community have changed them in profound ways. And that's what makes it all worth it.

Cons

You will want to be very passionate and dedicated to the mission, or you may find the break-neck pace difficult to manage.

Pros

- The work environment is not for all, but fosters and encourages direct dialogue with co-workers to solve problems/personal issues as quickly as possible. I enjoyed the direct aspect of the environment. - Great production team, the camaraderie and uplifting nature of those around you really inspires you to feel better , think better and self-improve.

Cons

- Starting pay for me was way below the average for a video editor, almost comically low. Yearly wage increases barely offset the increase in inflation every year. I had to supplement my pay with other work opportunities. Make sure to negotiate the terms that you want/deserve. - Opinions on hybrid work environment was non-negotiable and left no breathing room or flexibility.

Hi! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate you calling out the great team we have at Impact Theory and completely agree. Our unique working environment is not for everyone and is intentionally crafted to be that way. We host an onsite work requirement due to the minute-by-minute collaboration that is needed on our projects and our fast-paced environment. We have tested remote work significantly over the COVID-19 years, and unfortunately, it did not yield the results we needed. We do offer a flexible 1-day remote work-from-home day per week and an extremely generous unlimited PTO policy to support our team members to take the time they need when they need it. In addition, our pay ranges are continually reviewed in alignment with local market rates and are consummate with the experience level of our hires. Our HR department warmly welcomes compensation conversations, as does our leadership team, as we foster an environment of radical transparency and feedback. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate you!
