With Intelligence reviews

Zero HR, IT, accounts payable presence in US and experience company-wide churn felt in editorial, so issues take days/ time/ follow-up to get addressed. Readers find multiple recent rebrands confusing and With Intelligence lacks name recognition in the industry, requiring constant explanation. Journo jobs at several verticals are actually data aggregation pushed into a very strict (yet somehow moving target) template. Constant churn/ lack of exp in editorial leads to inconsistency around how industry coverage is even approached; bloated mid/ upper management v. small content production teams with intense demands (pvt equity). Content plans are (quoting one alum) "fascinatingly tone-deaf to the broader market," and discerning what makes a good With story is (quoting a third) "like palm reading." A team that was unionizing in NY was moved to Boston. The monetization model, which is becoming even more expensive soon, will be difficult to execute well in the states given the competition and circumstances described above. Company is growing very quickly without clear roadmap and lacks experience to right the ship.

No upward mobility unless you curry favor with the right people. Everything depends on your relationships with the British men running the company at every level. All decisions get made from London, including benefits/HR for the ~100 employees in the US despite no one in London understanding private health insurance or 401k. The leadership team seems to genuinely care but is also incompetent, defensive, and extremely emotional. And no matter how good you are, you won't get a >3% raise unless you bring them a competing offer, which means even star employees feel unappreciated.
