Going downhill fast

Pros

When I started it was a great place to work. I was able to advance my career, work on great projects and felt respected. This is no longer the case.

Cons

After a few key people departed, the main office started interfering with post production more and more. It also seems that company wide, the most incompetent people have risen to the top. I was laid off during the pandemic. I do not fault them for this. What I do fault them for is how it was handled. I got an email that said “your position has been terminated” and my company email account was deactivated 15 minutes later. No phone call, no warning, no thank you for your 3+ years of service. Nothing. It was heartless and cruel.

Thanks for your feedback and for your contributions to Tastemade. We recognize that while a quickly growing, fast-paced startup is exciting, it's not for everyone, and the company should focus on better setting expectations at the outset. We wish you the best of luck.

Pros

- chill environment - decent place to start your career if you have no other options

Cons

- Not People Services posting self reviews!! Please tell me you see through that. - Titles don’t make sense (what is an Associate Lead?) - lots of infighting among senior management - lots of work for not a lot of pay - revolving door work environment. It’s a red flag when the same job openings are accepting applications every 3 months but headcount stays at 50-70 - chances are you’re being underpaid if you go out on leave - toxicity

Hello, Thank you for your feedback! Its clear that you were unhappy with your experience at Tastemade and we wish you would have talked to our people operations team, one of our senior leaders or your manager about your experience, we have an open door policy and welcome feedback. We're not exactly sure when you were employed or the team that you worked on but we have had 150-200 employees since 2018, you may have worked here long before that. The average turnover in the media industry is 14% and our turnover is 5.4%. This puts us significantly below the the industry average. Our People team is focused on actionable outcomes. We work hard to understand and measure employee satisfaction and experience so we can continuously improve. Our current eNPS (employee net promoter score) score indicates overall satisfaction from our employees is ""very good"". To catch you up to speed on a few other bits, we are completing a banding and job leveling project to ensure employees are clear on their current standing and how they are performing. This activity will also provide clarity for all employees on what growth looks like in their role. Additionally, we are doing a revision of titles across our company to create more consistency across teams. We agree that this is a longtime coming and are excited for this! Last, we conduct market pay analysis frequently and opt into various surveys to ensure we are paying equitably, this includes the PledgeLA public survey. Thanks again for your feedback. Feel free to reach out to us directly should you have any additional feedback you would like to express. peopleops@tastemade.com
