Pros

If there were any positives to working here, none were noticeable.

Cons

- Suffocating, exhausting, and completely unrewarding define the entire experience at Public. - Employees are stripped of autonomy and constantly micromanaged. - Expectations are extreme, with no tolerance for innovation, creativity, or even minor mistakes. - The constant strain never lets up, no matter how hard you work. - Effort and results go unnoticed, and recognition or reward is nonexistent.

Pros

There was once a strong sense of pride in the work, even if that feeling is fading fast.

Cons

Things went downhill fast and never really recovered. Leadership started making big moves without thinking about the people who were already here. Longtime team members quietly disappeared and no one explained why. The vibe changed, the work lost its spark, and everything started feeling rushed and shallow. Layoffs and constant exits created a lot of fear and anxiety, so people stopped speaking up. Growth feels random and favors a small group, while everyone else gets stuck watching from the sidelines. It all feels shaky, like no one really knows where this place is headed.

Pros

Some creative discussions happen frequently.

Cons

Direction shifts so often that it is difficult to build momentum. Decisions are announced without background, then quietly reversed later. Feedback lacks specificity, leaving people unsure how to improve. Over time, enthusiasm gives way to frustration.
