Bleacher Report Employee Reviews about "work environment"

Pros

Great work environment. Dope people. Amazing career starting point

Cons

Don't pay tooooo well. Could be more open to promotions

Pros

Relaxed, fun work environment. Managers are accessible and easy to talk to. Company values employee mental health and time off. Having a direct impact in your job on Day 1. Flexible time off.

Cons

Organizational structure is ambiguous. Lines are blurred between job descriptions and communication between managers and junior team members can be poor. Upward mobility seems to take longer than at other companies. Raises are low and infrequent.

Pros

Collaborative community, awesome work environment (when such things existed), fun activities, smart people.

Cons

Repetitive article assignments, lack of diversity at management level.

Pros

- One of the few M-F (occasional weekend shift) editor jobs in the city - Working in sports - Relatively lax work environment

Cons

- Youth/ignorance in management bleeds through to content created - Decent sized layoffs every 2 or so years - Overall inept upper management with limited to no sports knowledge while running a "sports" company

Pros

Fun work environment, great staff.

Cons

Not much career growth and leadership.

Pros

Great work life balance, management trusts you to do you work without micromanaging and listen to your input and opinion, very relaxed work environment and people are nice to work with. Great perks since B/R is under Warner Media

Cons

Company would benefit from more established processes and better internal communication on projects, though efforts are certainly being made to improve and get better

Pros

Atmosphere to be creative Chill work environment in-touch with the current culture if sports will certainly surpass ESPN at some point

Cons

Can be very "clicky" Promotions are based off how you fit in more so than your merit

Pros

Great work environment. Everyone tries to help others succeed.

Cons

Everyone in content is extremely underpaid for the type of work they do.

Pros

I really enjoyed my time at Bleacher Report. Great people, great company, great atmosphere. I left to pursue a new career because I wanted to try something new, but it was very difficult to leave BR. I felt like I was treated well, and learned a lot from some really smart people. And as a sports fan, I was able to enjoy sports during the day, which was a definite plus. I also personally enjoyed having the support of a big company Turner - opened up the possibilities for what we could do and how we could grow. The office itself is also great. I realize it will be difficult to find a work environment like B/R again.

Cons

I think the only thing for me would be that a lot of the people who I had gotten to know over my time there had gone on to pursue new things, so a lot of fresh faces in the office. I think that's just a natural part of any company, especially a relatively young but growing one, to have people come and go. And often those people leaving were doing so for good opportunities within the company, like some people moved from SF to NY or London but remained at BR. For others, they had just reached a limit of what they could do at BR - which again I don't think is a strike against BR, but just that the kind of people they hire are go-getters. So it was natural for those people to move on. And i definitely liked the people who were still there, as I mentioned the people are one of the best parts of the company. But as someone who had been there a while, the office was maybe a little less familiar than when I had first started, when the company was a smaller startup.

Pros

lots of opportunity for professional growth, fast-growing company, great benefits, flexibility, great management, professional and fun work environment, excellent work-life balance, young

Cons

Communication across departments, communication with Turner (parent company)
