Stylight Reviews

Pros

- Best recruiting process I've ever experienced. Detailed and timely responses from HR, quick interview process (~2 weeks total with 4 different people), and I was never left waiting to hear/confused about what was happening next - Easy on-boarding with all need-to-know documents in one place - Culture met my expectations -- easy to ask management/colleagues questions, very transparent with business, lots of opportunities to give feedback/impact the business, FUN

Cons

- The time difference between the US and Germany offices/cultural differences can be challenging, but I know we do the best we can

Pros

The New York office is in a great location and is rather laid-back and diverse.

Cons

The entire NY team consists of nothing but underpaid interns who were sold a dream as far as what the job description said and what responsibilities ended up being. There was always a lot of confusion and lack of clarity regarding the future of this office and the editorial department itself, which DESPERATELY needs an experienced managing editor/eic to lead it. The management that opened this office lack the experience and skills to make it successful. There is no upward mobility—but when one intern did get hired full-time, she was fired the very next day. Despite attempts to keep this office in the loop with the headquarters in Munich, it often felt like the NY office was low on the totem pole of priority.

Pros

*Lots of responsibility and opportunity to take initiative in all areas of the company *Lots of growth potential *Positive environment/ amazing office/ great team *low hierarchies/consensus-orientation

Cons

*Pay could be better (but could be worse.) *Some days are more exhausting than others and if you believe in Stylight and what you are doing, it is worth it! *just girls

Pros

The team was very young and international with a lot of perks and after- work activities.

Cons

They rely heavily on interns, therefore it is very hard for interns to have an opportunity to get a job there.

Pros

Great growth potential Company focus on personal development Lots of team building activities A good balance of responsibility and freedom Passionate co-workers Young environment (even founders are very young) International work environment Beautiful office

Cons

The headquarters are in Munich and the distance can cause tension. Time differences can feel like it delays work and cultural differences can cause misunderstandings and confusion. Also, sometimes maybe the office is too young

Pros

-Like any office or workplace, there is a hierarchy but at STYLIGHT you feel a part of the team, as opposed to an individual, lone worker. -Everyone is young and inspired, ready to work. -Dress code that allow you to express your personal style. -Open office space allows for easy and open communication.

Cons

-If you like firm, corporate structure this is not a place for you. There's a lot of change and growth that's constantly happening. You need an open mindset that's not focused on corporate protocol. -This is applicable to the job market as a whole, but the future in terms of career opportunities is unclear.

Pros

-Although rapidly growing, Stylight still maintains a supportive start-up environment -Interns are positively encouraged to take initiative -Supportive feedback systems aimed at employee development -A clear company mission that is actually strongly valued by management -The company allows for work-life balance

Cons

-Sometimes communication in the NY office can be a little difficult for certain teams as the HQ is in Munich, Germany

Pros

Company is very fun, great culture, a lot of travel, really fun people work there

Cons

I'd rather have a higher salary than tons of team building events

Pros

International team, fun and young environment, mentoring, motivational

Cons

Not much room for growing in the company

Pros

The company culture is incredible, and your coworkers will support you.

Cons

The macroeconomic situation means that promotions are paused for a little bit
