Learn and grow at Contently to be the best engineer you can be.
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Contently is where I went from a junior engineer to a senior engineer and tech lead. They focus on building up engineers and creating a strong team. Engineers are encouraged to experiment with new technology that has potential to solve difficult problems. Engineers are also given flexibility to focus on languages and frameworks that they are interested in and find rewarding. Contently also gave me the freedom to try different roles within the team and figure out my career path. Leadership is smart and focused on building the best company possible. The CEO, Pearl Collings, holds herself and others to a high standard and will push you to be the best you can be. The culture is positive and supportive. Leadership focuses on mental health and recognizes the importance of self care to perform your best at work.
Cons
As content marketing has matured it has been challenging to find the best way to service the clients who can be successful in the space and benefit from Contently's offering. This means the team must be nimble and able to adapt to shifting priorities.

Pros
-Meaningful mission focused on helping brands and freelancers create quality work -Strong culture with clubs, perks, and thoughtful benefits -Flexible work schedules that can be tailored to the individual (e.g. new parents, night owls, etc.) -Extremely present and hard-working CEO who goes out of her way to make sure people feel comfortable and supported -The business is in a great place + topline numbers are communicated to all employees without any spin (which wasn't always the case over the years)
Cons
-Employees are asked to do a lot + wear many hats, to the point you can be stretched a little to thing -Too many meetings (to their credit, company is working on addressing this)
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
It's refreshing to work with some of the smartest, most creative professionals in the industry. Contently's business offering is truly unmatched, and the work environment is certainly one of the best I've experienced. Very happy I joined the team.
Cons
We're a small business and that presents its challenges: not a lot of people working on a lot of different things, maybe beyond the scope of the job description. But I wouldn't necessarily say this is a con, but an opportunity to grow professionally.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
-Competitive base salary -True work / life balance - summer fridays, unlimited PTO, etc. -Handled the transition into remote working because of the pandemic very well, which says a lot about how the company cares for it's employees -Managers are very willing to outline exactly what is needed for growth in the company -Everyone wants to see one another succeed. -Fun work environment, even through Zoom
Cons
-No 401k match -Very high expectations from above - everyone is constantly going above and beyond. That being said, this is great for people who are driven, focused, and motivated.

Pros
- Lots of opportunities to grow and move into different roles if you work hard. - You will never find a more present, invested CEO. Pearl is second to none. - Inclusive culture. - Freedom to experiment. - Great customers and product.
Cons
You have to wear a lot of different hats. If you're not someone who likes to roll up your sleeves and work cross-functionally, this probably isn't the place for you.

Pros
-Really engaged CEO -A team of really motivated, smart, caring people who support one another -Opportunity to work cross functionally and learn and grow in many different areas -Great work life balance -Regular diversity initiatives and events
Cons
-They don't offer a 401K match
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Leadership, management, growth potential, career focus, and the entire team (regardless of department) are all spectacular. As a family, as a startup, and as a business, everyone strives for better and assists everyone around them to achieve the same success. When I first heard of Contently 5 years ago, they seemed to have built a reputation in the content marketing sphere, but there were too many cooks cooking in that content kitchen. Pearl Collings came in as the new CEO a year ago and cut the fat, removed the growth red-tape, and instilled a confidence in everyone working here that Contently will exist long after everyone is old and gone. The ship is sailing rather smoothly, and COVID made us all realize that the company truly is tech-only, giving way to a fully remote working lifestyle.
Cons
COVID forced Contently to give up its office, which means beer-on-tap will have to come from your own living room.

Pros
